A: 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.

More: https://tyleraerobicseptic.com/how-to-choose-septic-installer-questions/ ### Best Time to Install Septic Q: When is the best time to install a septic system in Tyler? A: Late spring through fall is often easiest for septic installation around Tyler because soils are drier and heavy equipment can access the yard with less damage. Wet winter and spring periods can saturate clay soils and delay digging and inspections. Failed systems should be addressed promptly, whatever the season. More: https://tyleraerobicseptic.com/best-time-install-septic-east-texas-wet-season/ ### Soil & Water Table Notes Q: Why are aerobic septic systems common in East Texas? A: Many East Texas properties have clay soils that absorb water slowly or seasonal high water tables that limit conventional drain fields. Aerobic systems treat wastewater to a higher level before spray or drip dispersal, so they work where conventional systems may not. A site evaluation determines what your specific lot allows.
