Setting a new home on land
Putting a manufactured home on a lot without sewer means installing a septic system sized for the home. It's planned alongside the home placement, well and driveway.
- Site and soil evaluation
- System design and state permit
- Tank and field installation
- Connection to the home's sewer outlet
- Inspection and backfill
Replacing an older home
When an older home is replaced with a new one, the existing septic system may be undersized or worn out. It's a good time to check it — especially if the new home has more bedrooms.
Common details
- Sewer connection under the home protected from freezing
- Field kept clear of the delivery path for the home
- Risers for easy pumping
Septic questions
Do manufactured homes need a different septic system?
No — the system is sized for the home just like a site-built house.
Can I reuse the old system?
Sometimes, if it's in good condition and sized for the new home.
Can you work with the home dealer?
Yes, on timing and placement.
