Frequently Asked Questions About New Installation

How much does a new septic system cost?

Costs vary based on soil conditions, system type, and site accessibility. A standard gravity system is less expensive than an aerobic or pump system. Call us for a free site evaluation and estimate.

How long does septic installation take?

Most residential installations take 2–5 days depending on system complexity and weather. The permitting process typically takes 1–3 weeks before construction begins.

Do I need a soil test before installation?

Yes. A percolation (perc) test is required by the Alabama Department of Public Health before any septic system can be permitted and installed.

What type of septic tank is best?

Concrete tanks are the most common and durable option. Fiberglass tanks are lighter and easier to install. Aerobic treatment units are required for some properties with poor soil conditions. We'll recommend the best option for your situation.
