Standing water or soggy ground over the drain field, even after dry weather
New and replacement septic systems built right by a licensed septic contractor.
Brookside Septic Tank Service has installed septic systems across Jefferson County since 1969, designing and installing every system to code by a licensed septic contractor.
Septic system installation starts long before any digging happens. A licensed septic contractor evaluates the soil, checks the water table, and reviews the lot’s slope to determine which type of system will actually work on that piece of ground.
Some Jefferson County properties handle a conventional septic tank installation without issue. Others, especially lots with clay soil, shallow bedrock, or a high water table common around Brookside, Gardendale, and parts of Trussville, need an engineered septic system such as an Eljen system, a low pressure mound system, or a Wisconsin mound system to treat wastewater properly.
Whether you’re building new construction, replacing a failed system, or converting from an older setup that no longer meets code, our team handles the permitting, design, and drain field installation from start to finish.
A failing or undersized septic system rarely fixes itself, and Central Alabama’s clay-heavy soil makes proper system selection even more important. Watch for these signs that your property may need a new or replacement septic system installation:
Since 1969, Brookside Septic Tank Service has built a reputation on honest work and systems that hold up. Here’s what that means for your installation project.
