FAQ’s
-
A septic system is an onsite wastewater treatment system that is used to treat and disperse of the sewage generated on the site.
The typical process of a septic system is as follows: All of the sewage from the building flows into a septic tank. Some treatment occurs within the septic tank, then the cleaner water (referred to as effluent) flows to a leach field. The effluent then disperses into the ground where final treatment and entrance back into the environment occurs.
-
The type of septic system that works best for you depends on a variety of factors, including lot size, ground slope, soil conditions, size of the property, regulations, and budget. We specialize in designing systems that meet California’s complicated and strict local regulations. We can help you get a better understanding of the system that works best for your situation.

Installing a septic system generally costs anywhere from $30,000 - $90,000 for the “all-in” project, including permits, consulting, parts, and install. Consulting with both testing and design typically ranges from 6-15k. Please contact us directly and we can give you a more accurate quote.
