Septic Systems
Installation, repair, and replacement done to code, the first time.
Homes outside municipal sewer coverage in Central Kentucky rely entirely on a properly sized and installed septic system, and getting it wrong means backups, standing effluent, or a failed health department inspection that can hold up a home sale. We handle new septic installations sized to your home's bedroom count and soil percolation rate, along with repairs and full system replacements for failing tanks and drain fields.
Every installation is permitted through the local health department, and we test and document soil conditions before designing the system rather than guessing at a standard layout — soil on a Fayette County lot can behave very differently from soil twenty minutes away in Scott or Woodford County.
Why Choose Us?
- Systems are sized from actual percolation testing on your lot, not a generic standard layout.
- All installations and repairs are permitted and inspected by the local health department.
- We diagnose failing systems before recommending a full replacement — a repair is sometimes all that's needed.
- Site restoration and grading are part of the job so the yard isn't left disturbed after installation.
Our Septic Systems Process
Soil & Site Evaluation
Percolation testing and site evaluation determine what type and size of system the lot can support.
Design & Permitting
The system is designed to local health department requirements and permitted before excavation begins.
Tank & Drain Field Installation
Excavation, tank setting, and drain field installation are completed to design specifications and inspected.
Backfill & Final Grading
The site is backfilled, graded, and restored once the system passes inspection.
Common Questions About Septic Systems
How do I know if my septic system needs repair or full replacement?+
Slow drains, sewage odors, or standing water over the drain field can mean anything from a clogged line to a failed drain field. We inspect the tank and field first — many issues are repairable without replacing the whole system.
How long does septic installation take?+
A standard residential installation typically takes 2-4 days once permits are approved, depending on soil conditions and system size. Percolation testing and permitting usually add 1-2 weeks before installation starts.
Do you handle the health department permitting?+
Yes — soil testing, system design, and permit submission are handled as part of the installation, so you're not navigating the health department process on your own.
