Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for excavation or septic work in Larimer County?

Yes. Larimer County requires permits for any septic system installation, major repair, and site alterations. We handle the permit process and coordinate with the Department of Health and Environment for you.

How long does a septic system permit take in Larimer County?

Permit processing typically takes 3 business days once the complete application is submitted. Site evaluations, soil testing, and excavation may take 1–2 weeks depending on soil conditions and weather.

What soil testing is required before a septic system installation?

Larimer County requires a site evaluation that includes test pit excavations (typically 8 feet deep) and percolation testing to assess the soil's ability to absorb wastewater. We perform these tests and submit results with your permit application.

Can I install a septic system on sloped or uneven terrain?

Yes, but sloped sites require specialized system designs like mound systems or chambers. We design systems to match your property's terrain while meeting all Larimer County setback and drainage requirements.

How do you handle utility locates before excavation?

We call for utility locates before every excavation project. We work directly with utility companies and mark all existing lines to prevent hits and ensure safe work.

What if my property has a high water table?

Larimer County's varied topography can result in shallow groundwater in some areas. We assess water table depth during the site evaluation and design or recommend systems suitable for high-water conditions.
