Overview of Septic System Installation
Installing a septic system is a detailed process that requires professional planning and precision. Depending on site conditions, weather, and permitting timelines, the Double JP Septic process typically takes two to four months from start to finish. Working with a licensed and experienced contractor helps ensure your installation meets local health and environmental standards while avoiding costly mistakes or delays.
Steps in the Installation Process
1. Site Assessment
Before any installation begins, we perform a thorough site and soil evaluation.
Percolation Test (Perc Test): Determines how quickly water drains through your soil, which helps identify the best location for your drain field.
Soil and Property Evaluation: Examines soil layers, water table depth, and property layout to confirm your land can support a septic system safely and effectively.
2. Obtain Permits
Proper permits are required before installation can begin.
Local Health Approval: We coordinate with your county health or environmental department to secure all necessary approvals.
Licensed Contractor: Our installers are fully licensed and experienced in meeting all Bastrop County and Lee County requirements.
3. System Design
Every property is unique, which means every septic system should be, too.
Select the Right System: We’ll recommend the best type of septic system based on your site’s soil and space, whether that’s a conventional system or an aerobic treatment system designed for more challenging soil conditions.
4. Excavation
Once permits are in hand and the design is finalized, the installation site is carefully excavated.
Site Preparation: The area is dug according to precise measurements to ensure proper slope, depth, and system layout.
5. Installation
With the groundwork complete, the septic tank, pipes, and drain field are installed.
Tank and Drain Field Setup: Each component is installed and connected for optimal flow and waste treatment efficiency. Proper alignment ensures long-term performance and minimal maintenance needs.
6. Final Inspection
After installation, your system undergoes a full inspection to verify compliance with all health and environmental regulations.
Regulatory Compliance: Local authorities or certified inspectors confirm the system is safe, secure, and operating as intended before it’s approved for use.
7. Cover and Restore
Once approved, the system is covered and the property restored.
Site Restoration: We backfill the area, grade the surface for drainage, and leave your property clean and ready for use.

Maintenance Considerations
Proper maintenance is key to extending the life of your septic system. Homeowners should:
- Schedule regular pumping (typically every 3–5 years).
- Have inspections to check for leaks, clogs, or signs of drain field issues.
- Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items or using excessive water, which can overwhelm your system.
Routine care helps prevent costly repairs and ensures your septic system continues running smoothly for decades.
