When to get an assessment
Situations that warrant a professional assessment
A qualified contractor should evaluate these situations on site before any recommendation is made.
Starting new construction
New construction on an undeveloped lot requires a site evaluation before a system can be designed or sized.
Adding a bedroom or bathroom
Expanding a home can increase the household's wastewater load, which may require a larger system or additional capacity.
No sewer connection available
If your property is outside the reach of a central sewer system, a private septic system is typically required.
