Available Septic System Options
We offer a variety of septic systems to suit your property’s unique needs.
Conventional Gravity Systems with Leaching Chambers
These systems are the most common and cost-effective solution for homes and small businesses. These are durable, fast to install, and proven to work in Panhandle soil conditions.
- These systems use a septic tank and gravity to move wastewater to a drainfield.
- Modern leaching chambers replace traditional rock-and-pipe drainfields.

Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs)
ATUs are required in areas with poor soil, small lots, or close proximity to water. They do need more maintenance than conventional systems, but are ideal for these conditions and will save you money and time in the long run.
An ATU is an advanced system that treats wastewater with oxygen for higher-quality effluent. Its dispersal methods include:
- Spray Irrigation – treated water sprayed over a designated area.
- Drip Irrigation – a tubing system delivers water underground directly to the soil.
Flow Equalization Systems
These septic systems are Ideal for multi-structure properties, RV hookups, businesses, and homes with fluctuating use. They improve system efficiency and extend overall lifespan.
- They are designed to manage high or variable wastewater flows.
- Flow equalization systems store wastewater during peak usage and release it evenly over time.
- These systems prevent overloading of the drainfield or treatment unit.
