Types of Septic Systems We Install
We install the right system for your property's specific conditions and requirements.
Conventional Gravity Systems
Traditional septic systems that use natural gravity to move wastewater from your home through the septic tank and into the drain field. Cost-effective and low-maintenance when soil conditions allow.
- Lowest maintenance requirements
- No electricity needed
- Long lifespan with proper care
- Best for suitable soil conditions
Aerobic Treatment Systems
Use oxygen to break down waste more efficiently than conventional systems, producing cleaner effluent suitable for shallow drain fields or spray irrigation. Required by TCEQ in many Texas Panhandle locations.
- Works in challenging soil conditions
- Cleaner effluent output
- Suitable for smaller lots
- TCEQ-compliant for restricted areas
Low-Pressure Dosing Systems
Use a pump to evenly distribute effluent throughout the drain field, allowing installation in areas where gravity-flow systems won't work due to terrain or soil limitations.
- Works with variable terrain
- Even effluent distribution
- Overcomes elevation challenges
- Ideal for difficult sites
Professional Installation Process
Every successful septic installation starts with comprehensive site evaluation and ends with complete documentation.
Site Evaluation & Soil Testing
We assess your property's soil composition, percolation rates, water table depth, and topography. Texas regulations require percolation testing to determine appropriate drain field sizing.
System Design
Based on soil analysis, household size, and local requirements, we design a system tailored to your specific property conditions and needs.
Permit Acquisition
We handle all permit applications with local authorities and TCEQ, ensuring your installation meets current Texas regulations. Our familiarity with local requirements streamlines approval.
Excavation & Preparation
Our experienced excavation team carefully prepares your site, protecting existing utilities and landscaping while creating proper grades for optimal system function.
Tank & Component Installation
We install tanks level and secure, connect all components according to manufacturer specifications, and construct drain fields to precise TCEQ standards.
Final Inspection & Documentation
We coordinate all required inspections with local authorities and provide complete documentation including as-built drawings, specifications, and warranty information.
Texas Panhandle Installation Considerations
The Amarillo area presents unique challenges for septic installations. Our region's soil typically contains significant clay content and caliche layers—a cement-like calcium carbonate formation common throughout the Texas Panhandle. These conditions affect water percolation rates and require specialized system design.
We design systems specifically for local soil conditions, often incorporating alternative drain field configurations, larger absorption areas, or aerobic treatment to overcome poor percolation rates. Our local expertise ensures your system functions properly despite challenging conditions.
Caliche Soil Layers
Our region's cement-like calcium carbonate formations affect water percolation and require specialized system design.
Clay Content
Significant clay content in Texas Panhandle soil affects absorption rates and drain field configuration.
Water Table Fluctuations
Seasonal variations in groundwater levels require careful evaluation to ensure adequate separation from your drain field.
Freeze Protection
Proper installation depth and insulation considerations protect your system from occasional harsh winter temperatures.
TCEQ Permitting & Compliance
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulates all septic systems in Texas through the On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) program. TCEQ requires permits for new installations, system replacements, and major repairs. Texas law mandates minimum setback distances from property lines, wells, surface water, and buildings.

Our team manages the entire permitting process from application to final approval, including detailed site plans and soil evaluation reports.
Local Relationships
