  • County permit applications
  • Full installation: tank, lines, and drain field or mound
  • Conventional systems, mound systems, and holding tanks
  • System replacements
  • Final inspection

What affects your price

We do not believe in surprise bills. Here is what moves the number up or down, and we will walk you through it before any work starts.

  • System type (conventional, mound, or holding tank)
  • Your soil and site conditions
  • Size of the home and number of bedrooms
  • Site access and how much dirt work is needed
  • County permit and inspection requirements

What to expect

Design and permitting run on the county’s clock. Once we are approved and scheduled, the install itself is usually a few days.

We walk the site with you, handle the design and the county paperwork, install the system, and stay with it through the final inspection. Because we also pump and maintain systems, we see what fails and why, so we build yours to last.

Septic System Installation FAQs

Are you a licensed installer?

Yes. We are an MPCA-certified septic installer with more than 20 years of experience, licensed in Hubbard and Beltrami counties.

Mound or conventional, which do I need?

It depends on your soil, water table, and site. We evaluate the property and recommend the right system instead of guessing.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We take care of the septic design and the county permit applications and stay with the job through the final inspection.

How long does a system last?

A well-built system that is pumped and maintained can last for decades. The drain field is the part you have to protect, and we will show you how.
