Call (863) 393-6473 to schedule a site evaluation.
You need a new system for new construction without municipal sewer access, which is common across rural Polk County, or when your existing system has failed beyond repair: a cracked or collapsed tank, a fully saturated drain field, or backups multiple times a year despite frequent pumping.
We start with a site evaluation and soil percolation test to size the system per Polk County regulations, then handle all health department permits. Our crews excavate carefully, set the concrete or fiberglass tank, connect the main sewer line with an effluent filter, and build the drain field: chamber, gravel trench, or engineered mound depending on your soil.
After the mandatory county inspection, we backfill, grade, and hand you a full maintenance schedule.
Installation takes 1 to 3 days on site, plus one to two weeks for permitting. Summer rains and inspection scheduling can affect the timeline; we coordinate to minimize your downtime.
A new system is a major investment driven by tank size (set by bedroom count) and the drain field design your perc test requires. Your quote covers permits, excavation, materials, labor, and site restoration, all itemized.
We guarantee installations meet all state and county environmental regulations, protecting your property and local groundwater. A properly installed system lasts 20 to 30 years with pumping every three to five years.
Polk County's high water table and varied soils, from sandy ridges to dense clay, dictate what can legally be installed on your lot. During the wet season, elevated groundwater may require an elevated mound design.
We navigate these local requirements expertly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Septic tank size is legally determined by the number of bedrooms in your home, not the number of bathrooms or occupants. A typical 3-bedroom home requires a 900-gallon tank.
Yes. In Florida, all new septic installations and major repairs require permits and inspections from the local Department of Health. We handle the entire permitting process for you.
A percolation (perc) test measures the rate at which water drains through the soil on your property. This determines the size and type of drain field required to safely absorb the effluent from your septic tank.
No. You should never drive, park, or build structures over your septic tank or drain field. The weight of vehicles will compact the soil, crush the underground pipes, and destroy the system.
