5 Highlights on Aerobic Septic System Installation
Advanced wastewater treatment:
Our aerobic septic system installation delivers efficient tertiary level treatment that oxidizes and filters sewage and effluent far beyond what conventional anaerobic tanks produce. Dissolved oxygen levels stay high, and the treated discharge meets strict regulatory standards for surface spray irrigation and subsurface drip dispersal.
Full site evaluation included:
Every aerobic septic system installation starts with a thorough percolation test, soil analysis, and site evaluation. We assess the water table depth, setback distances from wellheads, and soil composition – whether loamy, sandy, clayey, or silty – before your system is designed. This evaluation determines the type of dispersal method best suited for your property.
Permitted and code compliant:
A-1 Bill Gibson Septic Service handles all permit applications and coordinates directly with your local health department and regulatory agency to keep your aerobic system installation fully compliant from day one.
Complete component integration:
We install every component – aerobic treatment unit, air compressor, chlorinator, spray heads, float switches, alarm panels, and control panels – as one unified system. Every part is installed by our own crew, and nothing gets subcontracted out.
Long term reliability:
Each aerobic septic system installation includes a maintenance contract option so your blower, diffuser, chlorine tablets, and effluent filter stay serviced on schedule. That keeps bacteria colonies active, BOD levels low, and your system stays operational for decades. Proper maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your entire wastewater system.
Why Choose Our Aerobic Septic System Installation
Aerobic septic system installation is a specialized discipline that demands certified technicians, precise excavation, engineering expertise, and deep knowledge of biological wastewater treatment. A-1 Bill Gibson Septic Service has built a trusted reputation installing septic systems and aerobic treatment units across residential and commercial properties for years. Our experience speaks for itself.
Our installers are certified and trained on every major aerobic treatment platform. We don’t just dig a hole and drop in a tank. We grade the site, trench lateral lines to exact specifications, connect PVC pipe with solvent cement and primer, wire submersible pumps and float switches, calibrate timers, and test every component before backfill. The job is completed right the first time, and the system works from day one.
We stand behind our aerobic septic system installation with a workmanship guarantee. If a fitting leaks, a pump fails prematurely, or an alarm triggers due to an installation error, we come back and repair it at no charge. That free service call is our commitment to you.
A-1 Bill Gibson Septic Service also provides something most competitors skip: post installation education. We walk you through your control panel, explain what each alarm means, show you where your chlorinator sits, and teach you how to check dissolved oxygen levels. You’ll understand your aerobic system inside and out.
Choosing a qualified, expert installer protects your property, your groundwater, and your investment. Hiring the wrong contractor puts your money at risk. We’re the top rated team for this work.

Signs You Need Aerobic Septic System Installation
Aerobic septic system installation is the right solution when your current wastewater setup can no longer treat effluent to acceptable standards. Here are five detailed signs that point directly to the need for a new aerobic treatment unit on your property.
Your conventional septic tank keeps failing:Â
Repeated drain field saturation, surfacing effluent, and soggy ground over your leach field all indicate the anaerobic system can’t handle your wastewater load. A biomat may have formed across the absorption field, clogging the soil and preventing percolation. Ongoing repairs only deal with symptoms temporarily. An aerobic system treats effluent to a much higher quality before it ever reaches dispersal, which eliminates this cycle of failure.
Your percolation test results show poor soil drainage:Â
Clayey or silty soils with slow perc rates won’t support a conventional gravity fed drain field. When test findings show an unacceptable rate, the health department may require an aerobic treatment unit with spray irrigation or a drip emitter network because the soil simply can’t absorb raw septic effluent fast enough.
You're building on a small or restricted lot:Â
Tight setback distances from your wellhead, property lines, or easements shrink the available footprint for a traditional leach field. Aerobic systems produce cleaner effluent, reducing required setback distances in many jurisdictions. That makes aerobic septic system installation the only permitted option on compact lots.
Your existing cesspool or cesspit needs decommissioning:Â
Older cesspools don’t treat wastewater at all. Regulatory agencies across the country are mandating replacements, and replacing a cesspool with an aerobic treatment unit is the advanced, compliant alternative that your inspector will approve.
You're adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or commercial capacity:
Increased wastewater volume overwhelms undersized systems fast. When sewage volume exceeds capacity, components break down and backups occur. A new aerobic septic system installation sized to your actual flow prevents overflow, backup, and non compliant discharge before problems start.
Our Aerobic Septic System Installation Process
Aerobic septic system installation is a multi phase project that A-1 Bill Gibson Septic Service executes in a defined sequence. Every step builds on the last.
Site evaluation and soil testing
We perform a percolation test, bore soil samples, and measure the depth to bedrock and the water table. We document setback distances and map the installation area.
System design and permitting
Based on soil data and wastewater volume, we design the aerobic treatment unit layout, select the right tank capacity, estimate project costs, and specify the dispersal method – spray heads, drip emitters, or subsurface chambers. We submit the permit application to the health department.
Excavation and site grading
Our crew excavates the tank pit, trenches for lateral lines and header pipes, and grades the dispersal area. We compact the base, place aggregate or gravel bedding where required, and prepare concrete pads if specified.
Clean internal components.
We flush the baffles, tee fittings, and effluent filter with pressurized water. If buildup is severe, we use a hydro jetter to scour the inlet and outlet pipes. Grease trap connections get degreased when applicable. Our plumber team also checks for any issues with hot water drains and garbage disposal lines that may be causing problems.
Testing, backfill, and activation
We fill the system, test every pump, float switch, and diffuser, verify dissolved oxygen circulation, and confirm the alarm triggers correctly. Then we backfill, install risers and lids, and schedule your first maintenance inspection

FAQs About Aerobic Septic System Installation
What is an aerobic septic system installation?Â
Aerobic septic system installation is the process of excavating, placing, connecting, and activating an aerobic treatment unit on your property. The system uses an air compressor or blower to inject oxygen into a treatment chamber located underground, which supports aerobic bacterial colonies that decompose organic waste far more efficiently than a conventional anaerobic septic tank. The treated effluent then passes through a chlorinator and disperses through spray heads, drip emitters, or subsurface lines.
When should I schedule an aerobic septic system installation?Â
Schedule your installation when your existing system fails inspection, when you’re building new construction on a lot with poor percolation, or when your health department requires an advanced treatment unit. Spring and fall offer the best ground conditions for excavation, but A-1 Bill Gibson Septic Service installs year round.
Why choose aerobic over conventional septic?Â
Aerobic systems produce cleaner effluent with lower BOD and TSS levels. They work on properties with tight lots, high water tables, or clayey soils where conventional drain fields can’t function. While the initial price and expense are higher than conventional systems, many regulatory agencies now mandate aerobic treatment for new permits in restricted areas.
How long does the installation take?Â
Most residential aerobic septic system installations take three to five days from excavation through activation. Timelines vary based on site conditions. Larger commercial installations or sites with difficult soil conditions may require additional time for grading, trenching, and compaction.
Can I replace my old septic tank with an aerobic system?Â
Yes. A-1 Bill Gibson Septic Service can decommission your existing septic tank or cesspool and retrofit your property with a full aerobic treatment unit. We handle the old tank abandonment, new system design, permitting, and complete installation.
Does an aerobic system require ongoing maintenance?Â
Aerobic systems need regular service. The air compressor, chlorine tablets, effluent filter, and float switches all require periodic inspection and replacement. We offer maintenance contracts that keep your system compliant and operating at peak biological performance.
