Septic Design
What Is The Best Type Of Septic System For You?
Everything starts with understanding your requirements. That's why collaborating with regional professionals throughout the entire process proves valuable: numerous questions need answers before landing on your perfect septic system. We'll walk you through identifying which system fits your property and soil characteristics optimally (heads up: aerobic systems comprise most of our designs and installations, since they deliver superior performance in our region).
We'll evaluate your property location, dimensions, water table depth, Texas state and local requirements, plus your projected usage both now and in the future. After evaluating these factors, we'll pinpoint your optimal septic solution.

How Long Should My Residential Septic System Last For?
Similar to your vehicle, your septic system can provide decades of dependable service...when properly maintained! Through regular pumping, routine inspections, continuing maintenance, and timely repairs, your system can dependably serve you for 20+ years. However, without proactive care, longevity becomes more difficult to predict.
We exclusively design and install quality systems, guaranteeing we never cut corners on delivering you a durable, long-lasting septic solution. Additionally, our HomeField Advantage plans convert long-term system care into something straightforward and manageable.

How Much Yard Space Will My Septic System Take Up?
Which system type are you looking at? Conventional or aerobic? Throughout the Austin area and surrounding region, aerobic systems dominate our designs and installations, which typically require less yard space than conventional systems (since conventional systems usually require larger drain fields).
Our design methodology accounts for your specific situation's space requirements, though it typically falls between several hundred and several thousand square feet of yard area. We're pleased to provide a more exact calculation when you contact us.

How Much Does Septic Design And Installation Cost?
To get the benefits of your perfect septic system, you'll need both a design and an installation. A useful comparison is purchasing a new vehicle. The system type you choose, your tank(s) and drain field dimensions, plus your property's accessibility and workability all contribute significantly to determining installation costs.
For quality septic work, there's no universal pricing. Contact us, and we'll provide you with an accurate quote to support your decision-making.

Showed up on time…in the middle of a severe storm and performed the work anyway. The young man had a positive attitude and the rain didn’t seem to phase him. Nasty conditions but performed like it was a beautiful sunny day. He took photos like I asked and documented the process. Thank you for your professionalism

I had an issue with my aerobic system at my home in Cedar Hill and called them at 8am. They came and had my issue fixed shortly around noon. I signed up for their annual maintenance service at a very reasonable price.
Nick Nichols
I called on the 16th of January in the midst of a hard freeze due to my septic system alarm going off. Even with the weather and its associated workload, the techs arrived the same day and resolved the issue. Awesome service seems to be the norm for this company and their techs!
Michael Turner
Great service. We received service within a few hours of calling in. They came in and found the issue immediately and provided great tips and feedback. We know nothing about the septic tank so the info gathered was very helpful.
