What are you installing a septic system for?
We specialize in new installs for homes on rural land.
Boling & Wharton County
New construction, manufactured & mobile homes
Out around Boling, homes beyond the reach of city sewer run on their own septic system. We install new systems for new builds, manufactured homes, and mobile homes. We run the soil and perc testing, pull the Wharton County permit, and build it to pass inspection the first time.
Get My Free EstimateBoling, called Floyd's Lane until the railroad arrived in 1900, is an unincorporated community in eastern Wharton County. The Boling Municipal Water District runs sewer in its core; land beyond the district needs a septic system permitted by Wharton County.
Septic systems in Boling
Boling's state historical marker tells how the area was called Floyd's Lane until the New York, Texas & Mexican Railway arrived in 1900; the town was named for the Bolling family of Virginia, misspelled on the post office application. Sulphur, oil and gas were found on the Boling dome in 1925, the population grew from 20 to 450 within a decade, and mineral production led the local economy for 70 years. Boling is unincorporated, with 930 people in the 2020 census, and no city's extraterritorial jurisdiction reaches it, so Wharton County's Permit & Inspection Department issues septic permits here. Sewer in the community's core comes from the Boling Municipal Water District, which runs a treatment facility on Gulf Street; the district's mapped boundary covers only about a fifth of the Boling census area, so homes beyond it need their own septic system. The county's order requires a permit at any acreage, spray systems that run only between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and installers licensed by TCEQ and registered with the county, and its subdivision policy sets lots of at least an acre with a private well or half an acre on public water. FM 1301, FM 1096 and FM 442 serve the town, with the San Bernard River a few miles east.
Septic conditions around Boling

Most of the ground around Boling won't take a standard gravity drainfield: water moves through the soil too slowly and water ponds on it after rain. Plan on an aerobic system with spray or drip dispersal, from $11,950 installed. The two soil borings on your own lot make the final call. Prices cover the system and installation; the site evaluation, design and county permit are quoted separately.
11 of the 35 spots are in a FEMA high-risk flood zone. A lot there adds floodplain rules to the septic design and usually a county floodplain permit, so check your lot's zone early.

A map sample isn't your lot. The USDA soil survey maps the landscape at 1:24,000, and Texas requires a licensed site evaluator or engineer to evaluate every tract before a permit (30 TAC §285.30). Run your own address through the free land check to see what the maps show for your lot.

What we install in Boling
Site Evaluation & Perc Testing
We evaluate your soil and run the percolation test that determines how well your ground absorbs water — the foundation of a system that works.
System Design & Sizing
We size the tank and drainfield to your home's bedroom count and your soil's absorption rate, then engineer a layout that fits your lot.
Permitting & County Approval
We prepare and submit your on-site sewage facility (OSF) permit application and coordinate approvals with your county health department.
Excavation & Site Prep
We prepare the site and excavate for the tank and drainfield with the right grade and setbacks — protecting your wells, structures, and property lines.
Tank Installation
We set the septic tank, connect the inlet and outlet plumbing at the correct grade, and install the effluent filter and risers for easy future access.
Drainfield Installation
We install the drainfield (leach field) that disperses treated effluent safely into the soil, sized to your percolation results and available area.
Built for Wharton County soils
Advanced aerobic treatment systems
The USDA soil survey rates most of the ground around Boling "very limited" for a standard drainfield: it drains too slowly, holds a high water table part of the year, or both. On lots like that a standard gravity drainfield won't pass, so you'll need an aerobic system with drip or spray dispersal. We don't guess at it — the on-site soil test tells us exactly what your lot can take.
We handle Wharton County permitting for Boling

Boling septic questions
Is there sewer in Boling?
In the community's core, yes: the Boling Municipal Water District runs a wastewater treatment facility on Gulf Street. The district's mapped boundary covers only about a fifth of the Boling census area, though, so a home outside it needs its own septic system. We check the district boundary for your lot first.
Who permits septic systems in Boling?
Wharton County's Permit & Inspection Department, at 315 E. Milam Street in Wharton. Boling is unincorporated and outside any city's extraterritorial jurisdiction, so there's no city permit or plat review. The county requires a permit regardless of acreage and a recorded affidavit for systems that need a maintenance contract, with an initial maintenance contract of at least two years.
Will I need an aerobic septic system in Boling?
Probably. Of the 35 spots we checked within 5 miles of downtown Boling, 35 point to an aerobic system, mainly because water moves through the soil too slowly and water ponds on it after rain. Aerobic systems start at $11,950 installed (the site evaluation, design and permit are quoted separately). The two soil borings on your lot make the final call.
Is Boling in a flood zone?
Parts of the area are. 11 of the 35 spots we checked within 5 miles of downtown Boling are inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (the 100-year floodplain), including 2 in the regulatory floodway. Your own lot's zone is what counts, so run the address through our free land check before you buy or design.
Do you install septic systems in Boling?
Yes. We install new septic systems on land in and around Boling and across Wharton County — for new construction, manufactured homes, and mobile homes. Inside city limits that have city sewer, you'll usually connect to the sewer instead.
How much does a septic system cost in Boling?
Most Boling installs run between $8,000 and $13,950 — $8,000 for a conventional system where the soil allows it, $11,950 for an aerobic spray system, and $13,950 for an aerobic system with drip dispersal. The soil evaluation (perc test), the engineered design, and the county permit are quoted separately. Run the instant estimate for a ballpark, and we'll confirm the exact number once we've seen the lot.
Do I need a permit for a septic system in Boling?
Yes. Every new septic system needs a permit and a soil evaluation before anyone digs. Around Boling the permit usually comes from Wharton County, and we take care of all of it for you.
