How much does a septic system cost and who installs them?
According to reports from on-site sewerage facility installers, an OSSF for a typical single family home generally costs between $3,500 and $15,000 depending on the size of the home and system type. The system must be installed by an installer registered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), or by the homeowner. Care must be exercised when installing these systems so that they will function as designed. Once you have obtained your permit, you must decide whether you intend to install the system or have a licensed installer do the work. All installers doing work in Harris County must be registered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. To insure that an installer is licensed, ask to see their current license or call (713) 956-3000.
