What should I ask a septic installer before hiring?
Ask for the installer's TCEQ OSSF license, who performs the site evaluation and design, whether permits and inspections are included, the system brand and warranty, what the initial maintenance contract covers, restoration of the yard, the timeline and payment terms. Get the quote and contract in writing before work starts.
