Septic Systems.

Full installation and repair for residential and commercial onsite wastewater systems.

Service 01 Central Iowa Family Owned · Since 1992

Overview

From The First Perk Test To The Final Cover.

Septic is what we do. Conventional fields, mound systems, pressure-dosed laterals. We install, replace, and repair onsite wastewater systems for homes, acreages, additions, and small commercial sites across Central Iowa, including Adel, Waukee, Grimes, Perry, Winterset, and West Des Moines.

We don't pump tanks. We coordinate pump-outs with trusted local pumpers when needed. Everything else from the dig to the final cover and inspection is our crew. We are not indoor house plumbers.

Replacing a failed system? Ask about Iowa's low-interest septic loans (up to 10 years).

Iowa Onsite Waste Water Association members and CIOWTS-certified installers. Licensed, insured, and bonded. Sized right, sited right, built to what your county health department wants to see.

Scope of Work

What's Included

End-to-end install - from the first dig to the inspector's signature.

New Install & Replacement

Full septic system installs and full-system replacements when an old field has finally given up.

Mound & Conventional Fields

Built to the design - proper rock, distribution, and cover. Whatever your soil and site call for.

Time of Transfer Repairs

Failed Time of Transfer report? We repair or replace the system and see it through final inspection with the county. Need the inspection itself? We can line up a DNR-certified inspector.

Tank & Lid Repair

Failed lids, broken risers, leaking inlets, baffle replacement - repairs that keep an otherwise good system running.

Pumping Coordination

We don’t pump tanks ourselves, but we line up a trusted pumper as part of any service or repair we run.

Permitting Coordination

We pull and coordinate the county permits the install needs and stay on top of inspection scheduling.

How It Runs

From Call To Cover.

Site & Soil Review

We walk the site, review the soil work, and confirm the system the design calls for is the right fit.

Permits & Coordination

Permits pulled with the county, schedule locked with the pumper and inspector, materials staged.

Install & Build

Tank set, lines run, field built - clean trenches, proper rock, compacted to spec.

Inspection & Cover

Inspector signs off, mound or field gets its final cover, site cleaned up and walked back to you.

FAQ

Common Septic Questions.

Do you do Iowa Time of Transfer (TOT) inspections?

We don't do the inspection itself. We're not DNR-certified Time of Transfer inspectors, but we can line up a certified inspector for you. If the system fails, we repair or replace it, working with a local engineer on the design and the county through final inspection. Call (515) 993-7802.

Do you install septic systems, or only pump tanks?

We install, repair, and replace onsite wastewater systems. We are not a pumping service. When a job needs a pump-out, we coordinate a trusted local pumper. We also do not do indoor house plumbing.

How far do you travel from Des Moines?

Most work is about 25 to 50 miles of Des Moines and the western suburbs. That includes Adel, Waukee, Grimes, Perry, Winterset, West Des Moines, and nearby Central Iowa towns. Ask if your site is farther out.

Are you certified for onsite wastewater work?

Yes. CIOWTS certified installer, IOWWA member, licensed, insured, and bonded. Credentials county health departments expect on the install card.

Is there financing to replace a failed septic system in Iowa?

Often, yes. Iowa's Onsite Wastewater Assistance Program (OSWAP) offers low-interest loans, capped at 3%, with terms up to 10 years, to replace septic systems on existing homes not served by sewer. Your county sanitarian approves the project and you apply through a participating lender. Ask us and we'll walk you through it. Program details.
