Which Septic Tank Is Right for You?
Part of a professional septic tank installation is choosing the right material for your soil type. We offer unbiased advice on the best options:
- Concrete Tanks: The industry standard. They are heavy, durable, and resistant to floating in high water tables. Ideally suited for stable soil conditions.
- Fiberglass/Plastic Tanks: These are lightweight and completely resistant to rust or corrosion. They are often the better choice for difficult-to-reach locations where heavy machinery cannot access, or in soil conditions prone to cracking concrete.

FAQ's
How long does a septic tank installation take?
The actual installation typically takes 2 to 4 days, depending on the complexity of the system and soil conditions. However, the entire process—including soil engineering and acquiring permits from Kern County—can take several weeks. We manage this timeline closely to get you running as soon as possible.
Will the installation ruin my landscaping?
We strive to minimize disruption. While heavy equipment is required to dig the tank pit and leach field trenches, our skilled operators work with precision. Once the system is covered, we grade the soil to leave a clean slate for replanting or landscaping.
Do I have to handle the county permits myself?
No, we handle the entire permitting process for you. Navigating Kern County Environmental Health regulations can be confusing. We prepare the designs, submit the paperwork, and schedule the required inspections so you don’t have to deal with the red tape.
Is financing available for a new septic system?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options. We understand that septic tank installation is a major investment. We provide transparent payment plans to help you manage the cost without delaying essential sanitation services.
Which is better: a concrete or fiberglass tank?
It depends on your property. Concrete is durable and resists floating in high water tables, while fiberglass is immune to corrosion and easier to install in tight spots. We evaluate your specific soil conditions to recommend the longest-lasting solution for your home.
Smart plumbing maintenance not only prevents costly damage but also helps conserve water. The EPA’s WaterSense program provides valuable tips on saving water and improving efficiency in every home.
