Subdivision Development
Do you have multiple lots you would like septic systems and or wells on? We will evaluate each site for the possibility of a well or septic permit. 

Septic and Well Construction Permits
If you have single or multiple lots that need a septic or well permit we will evaluate each site for compliance with the appropriate state and local sewage and well regulations. If all regulations are satisfied we will issue the appropriate report for the local health department to approve and  issue the permit.  Once approved by the Health Department a septic construction permits are valid for 18 months. For a fee paid to VDH these permits can be renewed for an additional 18 months (1) time. If you don't intend on building soon we can provide you with a certification letter (see below).

Certification Letters
We will evaluate the site and if in compliance with local and state regulations, issue a report recommending that a lot certification for septic and well site be issued by the local health department. Lot certifications have no expiration date which makes it a good option for someone that wants to increase the value of a property without having to build within the next 18 months. Lot certifications do not allow you to build but rather guarantee a site to be suitable for construction in the future. When the time for construction arrives you would come back to us for a full construction permit. Certification letters are also necessary to divide a property if you plan on creating new lots. 

Real Estate Septic Inspections/Walkovers
We will obtain copies of the well and septic permit from the local health department and make a site visit to the property to determine if the well and septic are operating as designed. If no files are found for the well or septic system we will make recommendations if needed to bring the well and septic system into compliance with todays regulations. For normal walkover inspections we will check the septic system without digging by use of probes and auger borings. At request, we can uncover the septic tanks and/or distribution box to inspect their condition. Depending on the system a full uncovering may or may not require the services of an excavator at the owners expense. 

Septic Repair Permit
If you are experiencing problems with your septic system will evaluate the site and if in compliance with local and state regulations we will issue the appropriate report to be taken to the local health department for issuance of a septic repair permit. 

Well Permits (Domestic, Agricultural, and Geothermal)
We will evaluate the site and if in compliance with local and state regulations we will issue the appropriate report to be taken to the local health department for issuance of a well permit. 

Well Abandonment Permits
​We will issue a well abandonment permit for any well the owner wishes to abandon.
​
Installation Inspections
We conduct drainfield installation inspections and issue the appropriate inspection reports for issuance of the operation permit by the local health department.  

Percolation Tests
If necessary we can conduct Ksat tests as part of our soil evaluation to determine actual soil permeability rates. 

Septic Feasibility Studies
If there is property you would like evaluated for septic suitability, we can offer our professional opinion in writing. During our feasibility study we will make a site visit to the property and use a hand auger to review the suitability of the site and soil for a septic permit/lot certification.
