OUR PROCESS

Our Septic Tank Installation Process

At Matthews Septic Services, we follow a careful process to ensure each septic system installation is completed safely and correctly.

Property Evaluation

Every property is different, which is why we begin by evaluating the site conditions. This includes assessing soil conditions, available space for the septic tank and drain field, and the specific needs of the property.

System Planning

After evaluating the property, we determine the best septic system design to accommodate the wastewater needs of the home or business. This ensures the system operates efficiently and meets local guidelines.

Excavation and Tank Installation

Using professional excavation equipment, our team prepares the installation site and installs the septic tank securely. Proper placement and leveling of the tank are essential for reliable system performance.

Drain Field Installation

The drain field plays a critical role in dispersing treated wastewater into the soil. We carefully install the field lines to ensure proper drainage and long-term system function.

Final Inspection and System Testing

Once installation is complete, we inspect the system to confirm that all components are functioning properly. This final step ensures your septic system is ready to operate efficiently.

Why Proper Septic Tank Installation Matters

A septic system is responsible for safely managing wastewater from your home or business. When installed correctly, the system separates solid waste, treats wastewater, and distributes it safely through the drain field.


However, improper septic tank installation can lead to serious issues including drainage problems, sewage backups, foul odors, and costly repairs. That is why it is essential to work with an experienced septic contractor who understands the installation process and local requirements.


Matthews Septic Services carefully evaluates each property before beginning installation. We consider factors such as soil type, property size, wastewater usage, and drainage conditions to ensure the system is designed to perform properly.


By installing septic systems correctly from the start, we help property owners avoid many of the common problems that occur with poorly installed systems.
