What are you installing a septic system for?
We specialize in new installs for homes on rural land.
Pinehurst & Montgomery County
New construction, manufactured & mobile homes
Out around Pinehurst, most homes sit on land city sewer never reached, so they 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 Montgomery County permit, and build it to pass inspection the first time.

What we install in Pinehurst
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 Montgomery County soils
Advanced aerobic treatment systems
A lot of the ground around Pinehurst is heavy clay, and in spots the water table sits high part of the year. 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 free soil test tells us exactly what your lot can take.
We handle Montgomery County permitting for Pinehurst
Septic permits around Pinehurst go through Montgomery County, not the state. We put the application together, turn in the soil and design paperwork, and stay on it through approval and the final inspection — so you're not the one chasing the county.
In Montgomery County, your septic permit goes through Montgomery County Environmental Health Services (the On-Site Sewage Facilities program). Before we build, the property needs a site evaluation with a soil analysis from a Registered Site Evaluator, plus an OSSF design sealed by a Registered Sanitarian or professional engineer (submitted in three sets) along with signed floor plans and the property's floodplain status. We handle the Application for Permit to Construct at the county Permit Office at 501 N. Thompson, Suite 100 in Conroe, and after installation we request the Notice of Approval inspection before any backfill. As your installer, we take care of these steps so you don't have to chase the paperwork.

Soil & site conditions near Pinehurst
Montgomery County actually spans two different soil zones, and that decides what your system needs. The southern and eastern parts of the county tend to have fine, clay-rich Beaumont and Lissie soils that drain slowly and can sit over a seasonal high water table, while the northern county around Conroe and Willis has sandier, loamier Willis-Formation soils in the pineywoods. Heavy clay lots usually call for an aerobic treatment unit with spray or drip dispersal, while sandier lots up north may allow a conventional or low-pressure dosed system. The on-site soil analysis is what sets your system class, so we never guess.

Pinehurst septic questions
Do you install septic systems in Pinehurst?

How much does a septic system cost in Pinehurst?
Most Pinehurst installs run between $12,000 and $20,000, depending on your soil, the system type, and how much drainfield you need. Run the instant estimate for a ballpark, and we'll give you a firm number once we've seen the lot.
Do I need a permit for a septic system in Pinehurst?
Yes. Any new septic system in Pinehurst needs a Montgomery County permit and a soil test before anyone digs — and we take care of all of it for you.
Who issues the septic permit in Montgomery County, and what does it cost?
Permits are issued by Montgomery County Environmental Health Services through its On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF) program. You'll pay a county permit fee plus a $10 TCEQ state fee. The county adopted a new health fee schedule effective September 1, 2025, so the current county fee amount should be confirmed directly with Montgomery County (the Permit Office can be reached at (936) 539-7839).
What are the steps to get a septic permit here?
First, a Registered Site Evaluator performs a site evaluation with a soil analysis. Then an OSSF design is prepared and sealed by a Registered Sanitarian or professional engineer, submitted in three sets, along with signed floor plans and the property's floodplain status. The Application for Permit to Construct is filed at the Montgomery County Permit Office (501 N. Thompson, Suite 100, Conroe). After we install the system and before any backfill, we request the Notice of Approval inspection. As your installer, we manage these steps for you.
Why do so many Montgomery County lots need an aerobic system?
It comes down to the soil. The southern and eastern parts of the county have fine, clay-rich Beaumont and Lissie soils that percolate slowly and can sit over a seasonal high water table, which commonly calls for an aerobic treatment unit with spray or drip dispersal. The sandier, loamier Willis-Formation soils in the northern county around Conroe and Willis may instead allow a conventional or low-pressure dosed system. Your on-site soil analysis sets the system class, so the design always matches your specific lot.
Can you install a septic system for a manufactured or mobile home on Montgomery County land?
Yes. A lot of work here is new construction and manufactured homes placed on acreage outside city sewer, and those homes need an on-site septic system. We size and install the system to match the home and the lot's soil. The permit process through Montgomery County Environmental Health Services is the same, including the required site evaluation, sealed OSSF design, and Notice of Approval inspection before backfill.
How much land do I need for a septic system in Montgomery County?
Montgomery County guidance is generally about 0.75 acre minimum for a lot without a private well, and roughly 1.5 acres if the property has a well. The exact requirement depends on your soil analysis and system design. We can review your lot during the site evaluation step before installation.
How long is a Montgomery County septic permit good for, and is anything extra needed in Precinct 4?
A permit to construct expires 180 days after it enters the system, so the install needs to move forward within that window. If your property is in Commissioner Precinct 4, the county also requires a Precinct 4 verification/culvert form as part of the process. We'll flag whether that applies to your property up front.
