We install and replace septic systems in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. That is the whole business. We are not a plumbing company that also does septic, and we are not a pumping outfit that subs out installs.
Septic work here is not like septic work elsewhere in Pennsylvania. The soil decides what you are allowed to build, and across most of Monroe County it decides in favour of the more expensive option. Knowing that before you get a quote is the difference between a shock and a plan.
How we work
We quote after we look, not before. Soil drives cost on almost every job here. A phone quote given without a site visit is a number designed to win the job, not a number you will end up paying.
We tell you when you do not need us. Not every slow drain is a failed system, and not every failed system needs full replacement. Sometimes the answer is a pump and a filter clean. We would rather give you that answer and earn the install when you actually need it.
We self-perform. The crew on your property works for us. Nobody is subbing your job out to whoever had an opening.
One number to call. From the first site visit through final inspection, you are dealing with the same people.
Licensing and compliance
Septic installation in Pennsylvania is regulated work. Systems are permitted at the municipal level by a certified sewage enforcement officer, under standards set by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Before you hire anyone for work like this, check them out properly. It takes about five minutes and it is the cheapest protection you will get on a job this size.
- Ask for the PA home improvement contractor registration number. Contractors doing more than $5,000 of home improvement work a year must register with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. The number looks like PA followed by digits, and by law it has to appear on their advertising, estimates, proposals, and contracts.
- Verify it yourself. The Attorney General’s office runs a public lookup for registered contractors. Do not just take the number on the quote at face value.
- Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance. Registered contractors are required to carry minimum coverage. Ask for the certificate rather than a verbal assurance.
- Get it in writing. Pennsylvania requires home improvement contracts over $500 to be written and signed, with the work described, a price, and approximate start and completion dates.
- Ask to see the permit application before anything gets dug. No permit means no legal system, and an unpermitted system becomes your problem at resale.
A contractor who hesitates on any of those is telling you something worth hearing.
What we will not do
We will not tell you a mound is unnecessary when the soil test says otherwise. We will not quote a conventional system to win on price and then revise upward once the excavator is on site. And we will not sell you an advanced treatment unit you do not need, because the ongoing service contract is a real annual cost you will carry for the life of the system.
