Building a new home or commercial property in Western North Carolina requires a septic system designed specifically for your site and usage needs. Our new construction services include:
Site evaluation to determine soil types and drainage characteristics
Perk testing to measure soil absorption rates
System sizing based on anticipated usage and occupancy
Custom design tailored to your property's unique conditions
Permitting assistance with county health departments
Complete installation using quality components
Final inspection coordination with local officials
Documentation for your records and future maintenance
The complete process from initial consultation to finished installation typically takes 4-8 weeks, with the actual installation requiring 3-5 days depending on system complexity and site conditions. Weather and permitting timelines can affect this schedule.
What's the lifespan of a newly installed septic system?
A properly installed and maintained conventional septic system typically lasts 25-40 years. Tanks often last longer than drain fields, which may require rejuvenation or replacement after 20-30 years. Regular maintenance significantly extends system life.
Can I install a septic system anywhere on my property?
No. System location is determined by soil conditions, slope, separation distances from wells and water bodies, property line setbacks, and other factors established by local health departments. Our experts help identify viable locations that meet all requirements.
System size is primarily determined by the number of bedrooms in your home (or expected water usage for commercial properties), not the number of current occupants. Local regulations establish minimum tank and drain field sizes based on these factors.
Will I need to perform maintenance on my new system?
Yes. All septic systems require regular maintenance, including pumping every 3-5 years, filter cleaning (if equipped), and periodic inspections. We provide a complete maintenance schedule with every installation.
How can I protect my investment in a new septic system?
Proper usage habits are critical: avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, limit harsh chemicals, fix leaky fixtures, maintain proper landscaping around the system, and follow the maintenance schedule we provide.
