Master Licensed Installer — Virginia & NC
Septic System
Installation in
Southside Virginia
Conventional and alternative septic systems installed by Virginia's Master Licensed Alternative Onsite Sewage System Installer. New construction or full replacement. Blake handles everything from site eval to final grade.
Septic Installation
The Highest License Available in Virginia. On Every Job.
Virginia issues a Master License for Alternative Onsite Sewage System Installers. It's the top credential in the state for septic installation, and Blake holds it. That matters more than most people realize when you're putting a system in the ground that's expected to last 25 to 30 years.
A lot of contractors in this area hold a basic installer's license. That covers conventional systems in straightforward conditions. When the soil is marginal, the lot is tight, or the health department requires an alternative system, you need someone licensed to install it and experienced enough to do it right. That's what Blake brings to every job.
Blake installs conventional gravity systems, low-pressure pipe systems, drip irrigation systems, and other alternative designs as required by Virginia DEQ and local health departments. He handles the full process: site evaluation, soil work, permit acquisition, installation, and final grade.

What We Install
Conventional & Alternative Systems
Conventional Gravity Systems
The most straightforward septic design. Wastewater flows by gravity from the tank to a drain field. Works well on sites with adequate soil permeability and sufficient setbacks. Typically the most cost-effective option when conditions allow.
- Septic tank installation and sizing
- Gravity-fed drain field construction
- Soil evaluation and percolation assessment
- Permit acquisition and health department coordination
- Full excavation, gravel bed, and pipe installation
- Final grade and site restoration
Best suited for sites with well-draining soil, adequate lot size, and no limiting soil conditions. Blake evaluates your site first.
Alternative Onsite Systems
Required when conventional systems won't work. Poor soil permeability, high water tables, small lots, or marginal site conditions call for an engineered alternative. Virginia requires a Master License to install these systems. Blake holds it.
- Low-pressure pipe (LPP) systems
- Drip irrigation dispersal systems
- Mound systems for high water table sites
- Aerobic treatment units (ATUs)
- Engineer-designed site-specific systems
- Health department permitting and inspections
Many sites in Southside Virginia require alternative systems due to soil conditions. Blake evaluates your site and works with the health department to determine the right design.
Full Service
Everything Included From Evaluation to Final Grade
Site Evaluation
Blake visits your property and assesses soil type, drainage, lot size, setback requirements, and existing conditions. This determines which system type is appropriate and what permitting will require.
Soil & Perc Work
Soil borings and percolation testing as required by the health department. Blake coordinates with the local health department and any required soil scientists to complete site evaluation for permitting.
Permit Acquisition
Blake handles the permit process with Virginia DEQ and the local health department. He's done this across every county in his service area and knows what each jurisdiction requires.
Full Excavation
Tank pit, drain field trenches, and all associated earthwork. Proper excavation depth and soil separation are critical for system longevity. Blake handles it right the first time.
System Installation
Tank placement and setting, distribution box, drain field pipe, gravel bed, and all connections. Alternative systems include pump chambers, control panels, and dispersal components as required.
Final Grade & Cleanup
The site is graded, topsoil redistributed, and the area left clean. Blake makes sure the yard is in good shape when he leaves, not a mud pit you have to deal with yourself.
How It Works
From First Call to Final Inspection
Call Blake
Describe your property, project type (new construction or replacement), and timeline. Blake gives you a straight read on feasibility and what to expect.
Site Visit
Blake visits the property, evaluates conditions, and determines system type. You get a real quote based on your actual site, not a number pulled from thin air.
Permits Pulled
Blake coordinates soil work and pulls all required permits with the local health department. You don't have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Installation
Full excavation and system installation per the approved design. Blake is on the job, not a subcontractor. Health department inspection coordinated.
Final Grade
Site graded, cleaned up, and left in order. Final health department approval obtained. You're done, and your system is in the ground for decades.
Why It Matters
The License You Have
Changes What You Can Install
Virginia has multiple license tiers for septic installers. A basic onsite sewage system installer license covers conventional systems on straightforward sites. A Master License for Alternative Onsite Sewage Systems is the top credential available in the state, and it's required to install the engineered alternative systems that many properties in Southside Virginia need.
Blake holds the Master License. That means when the health department requires an alternative system for your site, he can design and install it legally. A lot of contractors in this region can't say the same.
"I got the Master License because it's what the job requires out here. A lot of these soils don't support conventional systems. You need someone who can do it all."📞 Call 804-731-6645
