Determine if a septic permit is required
The first step is to determine whether a septic permit is required for your specific property. This will depend on various factors such as the size of your property, the number of bedrooms in your home, and the location of your property. Contacting Strictly Septic Service or the local health department or building department is a good place to start.
Hire a licensed septic system installer
Once you know that you need a septic permit, you will need to hire a licensed septic system installer. In Texas, only licensed installers are authorized to install septic systems. You can find licensed installers through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Strictly Septic holds Installer II License# OS0033816 & Maintenance License# MP0002171
Submit a septic system design
The licensed septic system installer will then need to submit a septic system design to the local health department or building department. The design will need to meet the specific requirements and regulations for your area. We can handle the entire septic system install and permitting process from obtaining permits to the actual on-site septic system install.
Obtain the septic permit
With the permit in hand, the licensed septic installer can proceed with the installation of the septic system. The installer will need to follow the design plan and ensure that all components of the system are installed properly. It is important to note that the process for obtaining a septic permit can vary depending on the specific requirements and regulations of your local area.
Install the septic system
With the septic permit in hand, the licensed installer can proceed with the installation of the septic system, which includes digging and preparing the site, installing the tank and drainfield if needed according to the approved design plan, and ensuring that all components of the system are installed properly and meet the necessary safety standards.
Final septic system inspection
Once installation is complete, the licensed installer will schedule a final inspection with the local health department or building department to ensure that the septic system meets all requirements, and if approved, the local authority will issue a final approval which authorizes the system to be put into use, and the property owner can begin using the septic system.
