Whether you need your current septic system evaluated or or need a new home purchase inspection, we’ve got you covered.

Before having a septic system installed, soil testing is a key step to understanding your property’s soil composition, it’s absorption rate, and the size of the leach field required to manage the wastewater. All of these factors directly impact the scope and design of a properly functioning septic system for your property.

A key part of soil testing and analysis is performing a percolation test. A 6-12in wide hole is dug 8-10ft deep. Water is poured into the hole and the drainage conditions, water table levels, and absorption rate of the soil are noted. The results of this testing are submitted to the local council, along with the septic design plan, for approval and permits before any installation can begin.

Signs your septic system is in need of repair or replacement:

If any of these conditions are noted on your property, contact us to schedule a consultation to have your current system evaluated.

Once the evaluation and soil tests are complete, we will create a septic system solution for you complete with septic design and suitability drawings (compliant with Section 19-13-B100A of the State of Connecticut Building Codes), which we will submit to your local council for approval.

We design and install systems using the latest high tech green solutions.

What Our Customers Say

Bill, Thank you so much for coming and saving me from my septic woes. It is so wonderful to know that there are still kind, gentle, honest people in the world!
Hi Bill, I am so appreciative of all you did to get our septic work done so quickly so we could close on time. You worked really hard, and it didn’t go unnoticed. You saved the day, and I really felt that I was in good hands.
Both our septic system and site were challenging, with complicated engineering and setback requirements. William Dexter and his team did their expert work with great care of the surrounding nature and adherence to all codes and environmental requirements. The site is more beautiful than it was when we began the project, with terraced stonework to hold our multi-level pump-up system. Bill continues to reliably service our system for ongoing maintenance. We highly recommend William Dexter Septic for their expertise and workmanship.
William, Thank you for resolving the issues with our septic system. We enjoyed working with you and your crew and you all went above and beyond with your thoughtful approach and your attention to detail.
Dear Bill, David and I want to thank you for your assistance during our recent septic issues. You and your team were phenomenal and professional and we appreciate all that you did for us.
William Dexter, you are a true gentleman and professional, and my husband and I are amazed at how you replaced our septic so fast, and then transformed our backyard septic area into a beautifully landscaped oasis. Thank you!
