Our Septic System Services

Septic System Design

Custom Solutions for Your Property

No two properties are the same, and your septic system shouldn’t be either. We design septic systems tailored to your property’s specific characteristics:

Soil composition and percolation rates
Property size, layout, and future expansion plans
Household size and expected usage
Seasonal water table fluctuations
Clatsop County and DEQ requirements

Our custom designs maximize system efficiency while minimizing long-term maintenance needs and ensuring compliance with all regulations.

Septic System Installation

Professional Installation from Start to Finish

We handle the entire installation process so you can focus on your project:

Precise excavation and proper grading for optimal drainage
Installation of septic tank and drain field with proper bed preparation
Distribution boxes, pipes, and proper backfilling
Complete system testing and inspection coordination
Final grading, site restoration, and detailed documentation

We use only high-quality materials designed to last in coastal conditions and follow industry best practices that exceed minimum code requirements.
