New Septic System Installation

New Septic Systems in Spartanburg

A new septic system is the full onsite wastewater package: a watertight tank, a distribution box, and a soil absorption drainfield sized to the home. Photolightcase designs and installs conventional gravity systems across Spartanburg County, from the permit through the final graded cover. A three bedroom home usually calls for a 1,000 to 1,250 gallon tank, and the drainfield length comes straight off the perc test.

Why Size and Soil Come First

Every system on this site starts with a soil percolation test and a soil profile. Those numbers confirm the seasonal water table and tell the county health department how large the drainfield has to be. Skip that step and the field runs undersized, then effluent surfaces in the yard a season later. On lots near Reidville Road with slow soil, that evaluation is what decides whether a gravity field will pass at all.

Our Process

We walk the lot, run the perc test, and pull the permit before any digging. Then we set the tank, plumb the inlet and outlet baffles, place the distribution box, and lay the gravel or chamber drainfield to the approved layout. The system is inspected before backfill, and we finish grade so the lawn near your home looks untouched. The whole sequence goes into your project record.
