Installing a new septic system is a significant investment, but it's often necessary for new construction, system replacement, or when expanding your property. Understanding when you need professional installation helps you plan and budget effectively.

Septic Installation Frequently Asked Questions

How long does septic system installation take?

Complete installation typically takes 3-5 days for conventional systems, depending on site conditions and system complexity. Weather and permit inspections can affect timing. We provide detailed timelines during planning.

What permits are required for installation in Georgia?

Georgia requires soil testing permits, system design approval, and installation permits from local health departments. We handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections throughout the process.

Can I install a septic system myself?

Georgia requires licensed professionals for septic system installation. DIY installation violates regulations and voids warranties. Professional installation ensures code compliance and optimal system performance.

How do I know what size system I need?

System size is determined by your home's bedroom count and local regulations. We conduct thorough site evaluations and apply Georgia sizing requirements to determine the appropriate tank and drain field size.

What happens if my soil doesn't pass testing?
Poor soil conditions require alternative system designs like mound systems or advanced treatment units. We specialize in challenging sites and can recommend appropriate solutions for any soil condition.
How much disruption will installation cause?

We minimize landscape disruption using precision equipment and careful planning. Most properties can be restored to excellent condition within a few weeks of installation completion.

When can I use my system after installation?

Your system is ready for use immediately after final inspection approval and connection to your home. We test all systems thoroughly before backfilling to ensure proper operation.
