New Systems In Travis County
Septic System Installation Across Travis County
Whether the lot is empty or the old system is done, a new septic system in Travis County is really three jobs: a design, a permit and the build. We run all three for you, and once it's in, all our home septic services are one call away.
If you already have a system, septic installation in Travis County may not be the next step. Call us and describe what's going on first, so the budget matches the job your system actually needs.
If You're Building On Raw Land
If you're building out US-290 toward Dripping Springs, in places like Saratoga Hills and Bunker Ranch, or on acreage off Hamilton Pool Road, the house will almost certainly run on septic. Call before the lot closes if you can, because the soil and the permitting office decide what system fits and how much of the yard it takes. That way the house plan leaves room for the system from the start.
Soil To Working System
How A Travis County Install Runs
01
Look At The Lot
We start with your soil and where the house sits, because rock depth and clay decide which system the lot can take.
02
Design The System
A licensed designer we work with sizes the system to your home and places it on the lot, so you see what's going in before it's filed.
03
Handle The Permit
We file the design with the right permitting office and follow it through to approval, so you're not chasing paperwork yourself.
04
Build To The Plan
We build to the approved design, because that's the plan the permit covers and the one you've already seen.
WHAT TO EXPECT
New System Costs In Travis County
No two lots price the same, so we come out, look at the ground and the house, and give you a free estimate. If you want a feel for what yours would take, give us a call.
Aerobic?
Your ground decides this one. Rock out west and clay out east both need a treatment unit, and that's the biggest swing in the range.
Permit first
Most of the wait is the permit, not the digging. We file and follow it through, so the earlier you call, the sooner it's moving.
Upkeep
By law an aerobic unit is checked about every four months. An Advantage Plan carries those visits, so the running cost is set before we dig.
Soil And Permits In Travis County
Which System Your Travis County Lot Needs
If half your neighbors have spray heads in the yard, there's a reason. The ground splits roughly at I-35, along the Balcones line. To the west, thin soil over limestone leaves no room for a drainfield, so most lots need aerobic septic system installation.
To the east, Houston Black clay runs deep but barely drains, and a standard drainfield won't work there either. So we start every design from which side of that line your lot sits on, and build the system that ground will accept.
Who Permits Septic Work Here
Your new system has to be approved before it goes in, and who approves it comes down to where you are. Unincorporated land goes through Travis County. Inside Austin's jurisdiction, and on every Lake Austin frontage lot, Austin Water issues them. Within 2,000 feet of Lake Travis it's the LCRA, and under LCRA's resale inspection rule your new system gets inspected and approved again when the house sells.
On the Hays side, Hays County septic rules apply, and the City of Dripping Springs runs its own program. Closer in, Bee Cave and West Lake Hills each run their own as well. Septic tank installation in Hays County follows the same steps with a different office. Finding the right office is our job, and so is the permit.
Why Call HomeField
One Call For Your Install
A new system usually means a designer, a permit office and an installer. With us it's one call: HomeField Travis County brings in the designer, handles the permit and builds it.
We're locally owned, with HomeField operators in Texas and Arizona behind us, and you talk to one team the whole way.
Once an aerobic system is in, it needs a check about every four months. An Advantage Plan carries that for you, and plans start at $39 a month. Call to match one to your system.
