Different ground
Placitas is foothill country on the north side of the Sandias. Unlike the valley, groundwater is usually deep — but soils can be shallow over rock, and lots are often sloped.
What that means
- Fields placed where soil is deep enough
- Trenches laid along the contour on slopes
- Advanced treatment where soil is too shallow
- Planning equipment access on steep drives
Common projects
- New systems for custom homes
- Replacement of older systems
- Casita and studio septic
Septic services in Placitas
- New septic systems and new home septic
- Tank replacement and drain field replacement
- Advanced treatment and high water table lots
- Site evaluations and permits
- Failing system diagnosis and risers and filters
