What a New Septic Installation Involves
New construction, replacement projects and major property changes can all lead to the need for septic installation. The work involves more than placing a tank in the ground. Tank location, approved design, piping, access, drain-field requirements and site conditions all influence the project.
Southland Septic LLC works with homeowners, builders and contractors on septic installation projects throughout its service area. Permit and design requirements vary, so the installation should be coordinated around the approvals that apply to the specific property.
When Septic Installation Is Needed
Conditions vary from property to property, but these are common reasons customers contact Southland Septic about septic tank installation:
- A new home or building will use an onsite wastewater system
- An existing septic system has reached the point where replacement is recommended
- Property improvements require a different system layout
- A builder or contractor needs a septic installer for an approved project
- Tank or system location needs to be coordinated with construction plans

How Septic Installation Works in South Carolina
South Carolina requires the applicable site approval and permit before a new septic system is installed. Under the standard SCDES process, the property application is reviewed, the site is evaluated, a Permit to Construct is issued when the site is approved, a licensed onsite wastewater installer completes the installation, and the system is inspected before final approval to operate.
Site conditions and system type can affect the exact permitting path, so property owners should follow the current SCDES requirements for their project.
