An older septic area

Parts of Albuquerque's North Valley outside the city sewer still rely on septic systems — many of them decades old, on small lots, above shallow groundwater. These are the conditions where systems most often need replacement and where today's rules may call for advanced treatment.

Common projects

  • Septic replacement
  • Advanced treatment systems
  • Tank replacement
  • Diagnosis of failing systems
