Septic tank installation starts with the ground. What your soil will take decides the system, and Tennessee permits the work before anyone digs. We install new septic systems on new builds and set replacement tanks when an old one gives out. The site evaluation and the permit come first, then the dig.
Wiley Rooter and Septic Pros is based in Greenbrier, in Robertson County. We work the north side of the Nashville area. Our crew builds off the approved permit and runs its own excavation equipment. We set the precast concrete tank and plumb it to the house. The tank then gets tied into the drain field, and the state comes out to inspect before backfill. Estimates are free, and you can call or text (629) 285-6381.

Every new septic system in Tennessee needs a construction permit. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation issues it through the Division of Water Resources. Robertson, Sumner, Cheatham, Davidson and Montgomery counties are all served by the Nashville Environmental Field Office. A repair to a failing system needs a permit too.
The application asks for the lot size, the number of bedrooms, the well location and a sketch of the property. It also asks whether the house and lot are staked and who the installer will be. A state environmental scientist then evaluates the site and decides what kind of system the property can take. On some lots a soil map from an approved soil consultant is required.
The state says the review generally takes about 10 days. It has to be finished within 45 days of a complete application. Once the system is in the ground, the installer notifies the Division so it can be inspected and approved. Davidson County is one of nine Tennessee counties that may also want a local permit.
We stake the tank location off the permit and dig with our own equipment. The hole gets a level, compacted base so the tank sits flat and stays flat. North of Nashville the ground is heavy clay over limestone, and rock can sit close to the surface. The soil evaluation tells us what to plan for before the machine moves.
The precast concrete tank is set in one piece with a boom truck. We seal the seam and the riser joints. Then the line from the house runs into the inlet, and the outlet side carries water out to the field.
Risers and lids come up near grade so the tank stays easy to reach. That saves digging later at every septic tank pumping or service call. After the state inspection we backfill, grade the ground back and clean up the work area.
Estimates are free, and the number comes from your lot and the system the permit calls for. Two things move it most: the size of the system, and the ground it goes into.
House size sets system size. The permit application asks for bedrooms and occupants, and the design flow follows from that. A larger flow means a larger tank and more trench in the field.
Ground conditions do the rest. Heavy clay drains slowly, and shallow limestone limits how deep a trench can go. Some lots need a longer field. A long run from the house or a wet, steep site adds hours to the dig. Wiley Rooter and Septic Pros brings 20 years of septic and sewer experience. The company is licensed, insured and bonded.

(629) 285-6381From the first call or text to the finished property, here is how it goes.
Reach us at (629) 285-6381 and describe what the system is doing. Photos help, and you can text them to the same number.
We come out, open the lids and check the tank, the pump and the field. On a drain problem we check the lines instead.
We tell you what is wrong, what the fix involves and what it costs. The estimate is free, and you decide on your own timeline.
Our own machines dig the trench, set the tank and pull the old line. We backfill, grade the ground back and clean up the site.
Before we leave we show you what changed and where the lids and cleanouts sit. You get a plain description of what to watch from here.
