Septic System Design

A good septic system starts with a good design. We can design any septic system for residential and most commercial applications in Kane, DuPage, McHenry, and DeKalb counties. Whether it is for new construction or an existing home, we can design anything from a standard field to the latest technologies.
All designs meet ALL county and state regulations the first time. Difficult project? We work hand in hand with the local and state health departments to ensure your system is designed correctly the first time to minimize the delay. We handle everything from start to finish including getting your soil test, obtaining your permit, and finally installation.

Designs that work for your Project

When designing a septic system, there are NO cookie-cutter designs. Above and beyond the local and state codes, we take into consideration many other items including – Available space, Use of the yard after installation, Cost, New technology, and sometimes older technologies that may work better. With our field restoration service, we can sometimes combine restoration with the addition of new technology to save your existing system. We consider the overall cost of the project and look at ways to design systems that first and foremost will work and last a long time, but also fit your budget as best we can. The use of a standard conventional system is still the priority for most installations. But, if your project needs a modern aeration system or above grade mound style system, we can design that too.

FAQ’s

Here are some commonly asked questions about septic design!

The requirements from the State of Illinois are also the requirements for each of the 3 counties, Kane, McHenry, DuPage and DeKalb. First, a soil evaluation by a licensed soil scientist must be completed before anyone can design a septic system. (Perc tests are no longer allowed in any of the County Health Departments.) A minimum of 3 test holes are required no less than 50’ apart in the area of where the septic field is proposed to be installed. We can schedule one for you, or you can get this done on your own. Second, a septic drawing must show exactly what is going to be installed including elevations. A Plat of Survey is required in order to show everything that is present on the lot. Third, a completed and signed Septic application along with a fee to the Health Dept. is required.

This process can take as little as 3 weeks to 2 months. The soil analysis can take up to 2 weeks to schedule, perform and get the results. Drawing the septic plan usually takes about a week to complete. Once it has been submitted to the County Health Dept. for review, it can take up to a month to month and a half to be approved depending on the individual County.
