Septic installation in Ellensburg and Kittitas County

Septic is one of the services people have the hardest time finding out here, and it is one of the reasons we exist as a single phone call. A new rural build needs a hole, a road, utilities, a septic system and a foundation, and most of the time that is four or five different contractors and four or five different schedules.

Here is how a system actually gets installed. You hire a designer, who looks at the soil, the site and the household size and draws a system. The county health department reviews it and issues a permit. Then we build exactly what is on that approved design: excavate and bed the tank so it sits dead level, set it, bring risers up to grade so the lids are reachable without a shovel, run the outlet to the distribution box, dig and set the drainfield laterals at the designed depth and slope, and stop.

Stop, because the inspector has to see it open. Nothing gets covered until it has been looked at. After the sign-off we backfill carefully over the lines, final grade it so surface water sheds away from the field instead of soaking it, and leave the risers and lids where you can find them.

We also do repairs and replacements: a failed tank, a crushed or root-bound line, a drainfield that has stopped accepting, risers added to a system you currently have to dig up every few years.
