Engineering A Reliability-First Septic System

When breaking ground on a new residential build, your On-Site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) is one of your property's most critical investments. At AB Septic, we manage the entire lifecycle of your installation from initial profile holes to final county health approval.

We coordinate directly with local environmental engineers and public health departments across Weld, Larimer, Boulder, Adams, and Jefferson Counties to keep your build on schedule without regulatory delays. If replacing an existing failed system, explore our septic replacement services or drain field installation options.


🚜 Soil Test Pits & PERC Evaluations

Before an engineer designs a septic layout, excavating strategic soil test pits is a mandatory first step. These open excavations allow inspectors to examine underlying geology, calculate soil percolation limits, and establish seasonal high groundwater tables.

We provide precise excavation data to engineers to design gravity-fed or advanced treatment systems tailored to your home footprint and water load. We also provide NAWT use-permit inspections and rapid emergency septic repairs.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is a soil PERC test and why do I need one before installing a septic system?

A percolation (PERC) test measures how quickly water drains through your soil. Colorado counties require this to properly size and engineer your leach field to prevent future hydraulic failure and groundwater contamination.

How long does it take to install a new septic system in Colorado?

Once county permits and engineering designs are approved, the physical excavation and installation process typically takes 3 to 5 days, depending on weather and bedrock conditions.

Can I install my own septic system or do I need a licensed contractor?

Colorado health departments require new On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) to be installed by state-licensed professionals to ensure environmental compliance and pass mandatory final health inspections.
