What We Recommend
Installing a septic system is a critical part of maintaining your property where municipal sewage lines are not available. The choice among type 1, type 2, and type 3 septic systems largely depends on the soil composition, water table level, space available, environmental regulations, and the amount of waste to be treated.
TYPE 1
Starting at $20,000
Suitable for areas with good soil depth and permeability. They require enough space for a drain field and are more effective in sandy soils that facilitate filtration and purification.
TYPE 2
Starting at $30,000
The cleaner effluent can be discharged into a smaller drain field or other alternative discharge methods, making it suitable for properties with less space, yards with a well, or close to an ocean or creek.
TYPE 3
Starting at $40,000
The highest level of treatment, incorporating additional filtration and disinfection stages. They are often used in environmentally sensitive areas where the groundwater is particularly vulnerable.
