Our Drainfield Installation Process
We follow a comprehensive, professional process to deliver reliable and code-compliant drainfield installations:
- Site Evaluation & Soil Testing: We analyze your property’s soil type, water table, and lot layout to create an effective, compliant drainfield design tailored to your site.
- Permitting: We manage all required paperwork and collaborate with your county’s environmental health department to secure approval for installation or replacement.
- Old Drainfield Abandonment (if applicable): For failed drainfields, we safely abandon the existing system in accordance with environmental regulations.
- Trench Excavation & Distribution System: We excavate trenches to the precise depth required and install gravel, perforated pipes, or chamber systems to ensure proper wastewater flow and distribution.
- Drainfield Hookup: We connect the new drainfield to your existing or new septic tank, thoroughly testing the system for optimal flow and drainage.
We install both conventional and alternative drainfield systems, customized to your property’s unique conditions, with a focus on minimal yard disruption and long-term reliability.
