How does a septic tank work?
Everything you drain flows into the septic tank. Heavy solids sink to the bottom as sludge, grease floats to the top as…
New build, a failed system or a property that needs an alternative system? We install and replace conventional and alternative septic systems with our own crews and equipment.
Available in: Norfolk & Winchester

Septic service is offered by our Norfolk and Winchester branches. In Wilmington, our team handles well water testing and treatment.
A new septic system is a big project. You'll know the plan and the price before anything is dug.
Septic system installation covers the tank, the lines, any pumps and controls, and the drain field, sized for your home and designed for your soil and lot. Where conventional systems won't work, alternative systems with pumps and treatment units can.
Our Winchester team holds Virginia alternative disposal system and West Virginia sewage system installer credentials, and our own crews do the excavation, then backfill and grade the yard when the work is done. You get a free estimate, a written price and financing on jobs of $500 or more.
Septic and well work is done to code by licensed, trained technicians and backed by a 1-year warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on new pumps and equipment.
Your soil, your lot and local rules decide which system your property needs.
The tank settles solids, and liquid flows by gravity into a drain field. Simple and reliable where the soil allows it.
Pump tanks, treatment units and pressure-dosed fields for difficult soil, high water tables or small lots. Many need annual checks.
Regular pumping and inspections keep any system working. Ask about the Blue Duck Club's septic perks.
It isn't only new homes and failed systems. These come up more often than you'd expect.
A guest house, coach house, barn apartment or workshop that's too far from the main system or the sewer can get its own septic system, sized for how it's used.
Cesspools, steel tanks and systems that were never permitted often won't pass a sale inspection. We replace them with a system that meets today's code.
Septic systems are sized by bedrooms. An addition or a finished basement with a bedroom can mean a larger tank or field before the permit is approved.

Cost, types and timing.
It depends on the type of system, the tank and field size, your soil and site, and design and permit requirements. We give you a written price after a free estimate. Financing is available on jobs of $500 or more.
A system that uses pumps, treatment units or pressure-dosed fields where a conventional gravity system won't work, such as poor soil, a high water table or a small lot. Many need annual inspections.
In most cases, no. Septic systems require design approval, permits and inspections, and installation by a licensed installer.
The installation itself usually takes several days to a couple of weeks, depending on the system and the weather. Design and permits come first.
Septic and well work is done to code by licensed, trained technicians and covered by a 1-year warranty. Manufacturer warranties on new pumps and equipment pass through to you.
