Septic System Installation

New Septic Systems Built to Fit Your Property

P.C. Earthworks installs complete septic systems for homeowners who need a new wastewater treatment solution on their property. You might be building a home where city sewer lines don't reach, or your existing system has deteriorated beyond what a repair can address. Either way, you're looking an expert that leaves your yard functional and compliant with local health codes.

If you're planning new construction or replacing a system that no serves you, reach out to discuss what your property requires.

What Happens During a Septic System Installation

Excavation begins for the septic tank and leech field trenches. You'll see heavy equipment move soil, set the tank level on a gravel or sand base, and dig the trenches that will hold perforated pipe and drain rock. If your lot requires it, a pump chamber is installed to push effluent to a higher elevation before it enters the drain field.



After the tank and drain field are in place, P.C. Earthworks connects your septic lines from the house to the tank inlet, tests the system for leaks, and backfills the excavation. What you'll notice after completion is a yard that drains properly, a tank access lid at grade level, and grass or topsoil restored over the work area. Your plumbing fixtures inside the house will function normally, and wastewater will move through the system without surfacing or backing up.

Final grading and site restoration bring the disturbed areas back to a condition that supports plantings or turf. Chambers may be used in place of gravel in some drain field designs, depending on soil conditions and the layout of your lot. The work does not include landscaping beyond rough grading, but the surface will be stable and ready for seed or sod once settling is complete.
