We handle every aspect of the process — from routine pumping and system repairs to full septic system installations. Our comprehensive approach ensures that you will receive consistent quality, reliable service, and expert care for all your wastewater needs.

Getting Started

Here at Modern Septic & Sewer, we walk our customers through every step of the installation process. To begin, you would first need to file a permit. Our team is happy to assist you in filing the permit, or you may do that yourself. Then, we will meet with you and the health department to evaluate the environmental factors. Next, the local health department will then issue the permit, and we can give you an accurate quote for work to be completed. After the quote is provided and accepted, we will begin the installation process.

Traditional Septic Systems

A traditional septic system uses a tank and underground drain field installed in well-draining soil. Wastewater flows from the house to the septic tank, where solids settle and break down and settle on the bottom. The liquid effluent will flow from the top of tank into perforated pipes in the drain field, where the soil naturally filters contaminants before the water reenters the groundwater.

Raised Mound Septic Systems

A mound system is used where soil conditions, high groundwater, or shallow bedrock don’t allow for a traditional drain field. Wastewater flows into a septic tank, then the treated liquid is pumped to a raised sand-and-soil mound. As it filters through the mound and natural soil, then bacteria and contaminants are removed before the water returns safely to the groundwater.
