What's Included in This Service

Installation begins with a site evaluation to determine the best location for your tank and drain field based on soil composition, topography, and setback requirements. Technicians measure percolation rates and assess drainage capacity to ensure proper system design. In Lexington, where clay-heavy soils and varying elevations affect performance, this step prevents future problems and ensures compliance with local codes.

Once planning is complete, excavation begins, followed by tank placement, inlet and outlet line installation, and connection to household plumbing. Major Duke's Services handles all aspects of the physical installation, including backfilling, compaction, and system startup procedures. Work proceeds efficiently while maintaining safety and site cleanliness throughout the project.

After installation, your system undergoes testing to confirm proper flow, tank sealing, and drain field function. You receive documentation for permitting and future reference, along with guidance on maintenance schedules and best practices for protecting your investment.
