New Septic System Installation

Quality installation that meets Connecticut codes and lasts for decades. We handle everything from design to final inspection.

When Do You Need A New System?

Installing a new septic system is a significant investment — and not one homeowners make often. You might need a new system if:

  • Your current system has failed a health department inspection
  • You're building a new home in an area without sewer access
  • Your existing tank is cracked, collapsed, or beyond repair
  • Your drain field has failed and cannot be revived
  • You're adding bedrooms or significantly increasing water usage
  • You're selling a home and need to replace an outdated system

Our Installation Process

We manage the entire installation process, so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors or navigate the permitting maze alone.

1

Site Evaluation & Design

We conduct soil testing (percolation tests) and site evaluation to determine the best type and size of system for your property. We work with engineers to create a system design that meets your needs and local codes.

2

Permitting

We prepare and submit all required documentation to the local health department. We follow up and handle any questions or revisions until the permit is approved.

3

Excavation

Our crew excavates the area for the tank and drain field, following the engineered design. We take care to minimize disruption to your property and landscaping.

4

Installation

We install the tank, distribution boxes, pipes, and drain field components according to specifications. Everything is done by our trained crew — no subcontractors.

5

Inspection & Final Approval

We coordinate the health department inspection and address any punch-list items. Once approved, your system is ready for use.

System Types

Options For Every Property

Based on your soil conditions, property layout, and local code requirements, we recommend the best system for your situation.

🏗️

Conventional Gravity

Traditional system using gravity to move wastewater from tank to drain field. Most common and typically most economical.

Best for: Good soil, flat lots
⬆️

Pump to Grade

Uses a pump chamber to lift wastewater to a drain field at a higher elevation. Solution when gravity flow isn't possible.

Best for: Sloped properties
💨

Aerobic Treatment

Uses air injection to treat wastewater more thoroughly than conventional systems. Produces higher quality effluent.

Best for: Poor soil, small lots
🏔️

Mound Systems

Elevated sand mound that treats and disperses wastewater. Used when soil conditions don't allow in-ground drain fields.

Best for: High water table, clay soil

FAQ

Common Questions About Installation

Most residential installations take 3-5 days of active work, spread over 2-3 weeks to allow for inspections and backfilling. The permitting process typically takes 4-8 weeks from application to approval.
For new construction, this isn't an issue. For system replacement, we'll work with you to minimize disruption. In some cases, you may need to make alternative arrangements for a few days while the new system is connected.
Connecticut requires a septic permit from your local health department. We handle the entire permitting process — you don't need to deal with the bureaucracy yourself. Some towns may require additional local permits.
For standard systems, we work with licensed designers who prepare the plans. For more complex situations, a professional engineer may be required. We coordinate all necessary professionals as part of our service.
