Septic Installation in Washington: local context

The Washington area mixes historic rowhouses, many with English basements, and suburban single-family homes; winters are cold enough for freeze-thaw cycles.

Most homes inside Washington are on public sewer, so new septic installations in the Washington–Arlington–Alexandria area happen mainly on the metro's outer edges and in rural parts of surrounding counties: new homes, additions that add bedrooms, and replacements of failed systems.

Septic installations need a permit, usually from the county or state health or environmental agency, and typically a soil evaluation or perc test before design. Ask installers who handles design, permits and inspections, and get the system type in writing.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with District of Columbia licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Who handles design, soil testing, permits and inspections?
  • What system type is quoted, and why?
  • Is your company licensed or certified to install septic systems here?
  • What does site restoration include?
  • What warranty covers the installation?
