Septic Installation

Installed and inspected β€” all through one company.

Why It Matters

A Septic System Done Wrong Will Fail Inspection, Cost You Twice, and Create a Real Health Problem.

South Carolina takes septic installation seriously β€” and so do we. Your county's environmental health office designs the system to code for your specific lot and soil conditions. Our job is to install it exactly as designed and get it through final inspection. One company from install to final sign-off.

Common Questions

Septic Installation FAQ

Who designs the septic system β€” you or the county?
South Carolina counties design septic systems based on your specific lot size and soil test results. Austin Drilling handles the full installation of the county-approved design. You don't need to manage two separate parties.
How long does installation take?
Most residential septic installations are completed in 1–3 days. Scheduling timelines vary β€” Lexington and Newberry counties are typically faster than larger metro counties.
Can you handle both a well and septic on the same property?
Yes β€” this is common on new construction lots. We coordinate both installations and ensure proper separation between the systems, as required by SCDES.
What can go wrong if a septic system is installed incorrectly?
A failed county inspection means tearing it out and starting over. A system installed too shallow, too close to a water source, or without proper drainage can create a genuine health hazard. Getting it right the first time is not optional β€” it's the whole point.
