How a septic job goes with us
- Site assessment and a straight answer. Matt walks the lot, looks at the existing system or the soil, and tells you what it needs: a repair, a drain field, or a new system, and roughly what that costs.
- Permits, handled. El Paso County permit applications, system design to county code, and the final inspection sign-off are part of the job, not your homework.
- Excavation and installation by our own crew. Tank, drain field, and lines go in to code. Matt runs the crew and is on site for the whole install.
- Inspection passes, then you get the paperwork. The county signs off, you get the records, and the site is restored.
Septic in El Paso County soil
Outside the city sewer, Black Forest, Peyton, Falcon, and the edges of Fountain run on septic, and the ground varies a lot from lot to lot: dense clay in some areas, decomposed granite in others. That is why a system is designed for the specific site, not copied from the neighbor's.
A properly installed and maintained system in Colorado typically lasts 25–40 years. Regular pumping every 3–5 years is the single most important maintenance step; drain field failure is what usually ends a system early, and it is far cheaper to repair a field than to replace a system.
Buying rural property? A pre-purchase septic inspection with a written report is essential. Failed or undersized systems can cost $10,000–$30,000+ to replace, and the report gives you a number to negotiate with before closing.
“We needed a full septic system installed on our rural property in Falcon. Matt handled permits, the whole installation, and county inspection. Everything passed first time. Total pro.”
