AEROBIC
The most common system we install as a trusted Brazos Valley septic installer is the aerobic treatment unit (ATU), which uses oxygen to break down waste more efficiently than conventional systems. After treatment, the disinfected water is pumped through a spray distribution system to irrigate designated areas of your property. This setup not only meets Texas OSSF standards but also allows for a smaller drain field footprint and environmentally friendly water reuse.
CONVENTIONAL
Conventional septic systems require carefully evaluated site and soil conditions—such as soil texture, percolation rate, depth to groundwater, and adequate setback distances—to ensure the drain field can effectively filter effluent into the ground per Texas OSSF standards. These systems rely on gravity-fed trenches filled with gravel or media where soil microbes purify wastewater through filtration and biological breakdown.
DRIP
Ideal for properties with limited space, our drip distribution septic systems pair a treatment unit with low-pressure dosing through flexible emitter lines buried just below the soil surface. This efficient method provides uniform wastewater dispersal, requires minimal drain field area, maintains compliance with Texas OSSF regulations, and allows for landscaping over the system while reducing clogging and maintenance needs.
SEPTIC INSTALLATION & REPAIR
Your property's suitability for a septic system depends on specific site and soil conditions, which are thoroughly evaluated during the state-required On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) design process with our team. As a trusted Brazos Valley septic installer, we’ll help determine whether an aerobic, conventional, or drip system is best for your land.
What We Handle For Your Install Or Repair...
We’ll provide a seamless process from initial planning to final county inspection. You can expect the following for a normal full installation, replacement or repairs requiring redesign. Note, not all repairs require a redesign!
On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) Design
New systems (and some repairs) are required to be designed by a licensed, professional designer.
We can schedule time with our recommended designers and include this fee in your final invoice, or, you can select and have the system designed yourself.
Required County Paperwork
We will facilitate all required paperwork with the county to make the system installation or repair process as simple as possible utilizing digital technology as available by the county.
Note: a notarization will be required for all county affidavits.
System Installation Or Repair
Upon county approval, we will complete the install or repair in line with the OSSF design. This process takes approximately 2-5 days once started.
For repairs, we do our best to ensure you and your family are notdisplaced during the process depending on the usability of the existing system.
County Inspection
All systems must be inspected by the County Designated Representative and approved prior to use. We will schedule the inspection quickly following the completion of the install to ensure the system was properly installed and is usable to you and your family.
Ongoing Maintenance
The State of Texas requires all OSSF systems to be maintained by a licensed professional. All new systems include 2 years of regular maintenance without charge including required reporting to the county. After the two years, we will provide the option to continue a maintenance contract with us.
