SEPTIC SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
Professional system design and installation
for new contstruction and rural properties
Andersen Sewer Service provides complete septic system installation for homes, businesses, and new construction projects throughout Billings and surrounding areas. A new system may be needed when public sewer access isn’t available, an existing system has reached the end of its life, or a property is being developed for the first time.
Every installation begins with planning the system around the property’s soil, available space, and expected wastewater use. From there, the site is prepared and the tank, plumbing connections, and drain field are installed to create an efficient wastewater treatment system.
Proper design and installation help ensure reliable drainage, effective wastewater treatment, and long-term system performance. Contact Andersen Sewer Service to discuss the right septic system for your property.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Before installation begins, the property is evaluated to determine the best placement and configuration for the new septic system. Factors such as soil conditions, groundwater, property layout, household or business usage, wells, slopes, and required setbacks are considered when planning the system.
Once the site is ready, the septic tank is positioned, plumbing lines are connected, and the drain field is constructed. After installation, the system is checked to make sure wastewater is moving properly from the building through the tank and into the drain field.
Andersen Sewer Service will also walk you through basic system operation and maintenance so you know how to care for your new septic system, including future pumping needs. The result is a properly installed system designed to provide dependable wastewater management for years to come.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Installing a new septic system is a significant project, and understanding what is involved helps you prepare your property and plan for long-term system care.
What factors determine where a septic system can be installed?
The location depends on soil type, slope, distance from wells and property lines, and adequate space for both the tank and the drainfield to function without interference.
How long does a septic system installation take?
Installation typically takes several days depending on site conditions, system size, and weather, with most of the time spent excavating, setting the tank, and constructing the drainfield.
What size septic tank is needed for a residential property?
Tank size is based on the number of bedrooms in the home and estimated daily wastewater volume, with most residential systems using tanks between 1000 and 1500 gallons.
Why is soil testing important before septic installation in Billings?
Soil testing determines how quickly the ground can absorb effluent, which affects drainfield design and ensures the system will not flood or fail due to poor drainage.
When should a newly installed septic system be pumped for the first time?
Most systems should be inspected and pumped within three to five years after installation, depending on household size and water use patterns.
