How a septic system works.

Valley considerations

Estancia Valley soils vary. Some sites absorb water well; others have clay or caliche close to the surface. The evaluation decides whether a conventional gravel or chamber field works, or whether the design needs to change.

Septic questions

How much land do I need for septic?

It depends on soil, house size and setbacks. Most acreage lots have room; smaller lots need planning.

Do I need a well and septic permit?

Septic is permitted through the state Environment Department; wells have their own process.

Can you start before the house is done?

We plan it early and install at the right stage of construction.
