OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
REVIEW APPROVED PLAN
Go over the engineered design, soil report, permit and confirm site conditions before we dig.
PERMIT & EXCAVATE
Secure the construction permit and excavate to the design grade.
BUILD THE FIELD
Set stone, distribution box, laterals and pipe or chambers to the approved plan.
BACKFILL & INSPECT
Backfill and grade, pass the final county inspection and document completion statement.
WHY THE DIAGNOSIS
MATTERS
Different failures need different fixes: age, overload, poor installation, damaged lines or shifting soils.
Accurate diagnosis comes first so the repair solves the real problem not just the symptoms..
40+ years of local experience with Northern Virginia soils, site conditions and permitting requirements.
Installed to approved plans and county requirements.
One crew from start to finish from excavation through repair, installation and final inspection.
The right fix the first time so you do not pay for a full replacement when a targeted repair will solve the problem.
Frequently Asked Questions.
-
With proper use and maintenance, often 20-30 years though soil, sizing, usage and how well the septic tank is maintained all affect lifespan.
-
YES- new and replacement drainfields require a soil evaluation and a permitted, engineered design before installation. We install to the approved plan and coordinate the inspections and we can point you to a soil evaluator or designer if you need one.
-
Age, hydraulic overload, poor original installation, compaction, root intrusion or shifting soils. The right diagnosis decides whether it's a repair or a replacement.
-
NO- a drainfield needs to breathe and stay accessible. Avoid driveways, patios, structures and heavy traffic over the field and its reserve area.
