A septic system in plain English
Everything from the house drains to the tank. Solids settle, scum floats, and the clearer liquid flows to the drain field, where the soil finishes the job. Get the soil right and size it right, and it works quietly for decades.

Conventional or advanced treatment?
A conventional system is a tank and a gravity drain field. It has no moving parts, needs no power and costs the least — but it needs enough suitable soil above rock and groundwater, and room for a full-size field.
An advanced treatment system adds a unit that cleans the effluent before it reaches the field. It costs more and needs a maintenance contract, but it can make a difficult lot buildable. See conventional vs advanced.
Installation day
Most installs take a few days: excavation, setting the tank on a level bed, laying the field, inspection, then backfill and cleanup. Risers bring the lids to the surface so future pumping is easy — see risers and lids.
New construction and additions
Building a new home, adding a casita or placing a manufactured home all need a septic plan sized for the bedrooms. See new construction and casitas and additions.
What makes septic work different out here
Almost every home in Edgewood, Moriarty and the East Mountains relies on a septic system, and the ground here is not always easy on them. Shallow bedrock, caliche layers, tight clay in some areas and steep lots in others all change what kind of system a property can use and how big the drain field has to be.
Start with the site
Every new or replacement system begins with a site evaluation: soil, depth to rock or restrictive layers, slope and setbacks from wells and property lines. That decides whether a conventional system works or whether advanced treatment is needed. See site evaluations and how deep a leach field goes.
Permits
Septic work in New Mexico goes through the New Mexico Environment Department. We handle the design and permit paperwork as part of the job. Read the permit process.
Costs
A conventional system, an advanced treatment unit and a leach field replacement are very different price levels. Our Edgewood cost guide and leach field replacement costs give planning ranges.
Buying or selling

ReadQuick answers
Do I need a permit for a septic system?
Yes. New Mexico requires a state permit for new and replacement systems. We handle it.
How long does installation take?
Often a few days once the permit is approved, depending on the system and soil.
Concrete or plastic tank?
Both work. Concrete is heavy and durable; plastic is easier to get onto remote or tight sites.
Do you pump tanks?
We focus on installation and replacement.
