New and replacement systems, evaluated case by case
Our focus is septic service, and new installations, including alternative and aerobic systems, are taken case by case. Tell us about the property and the project, and we review the site, design, and permit path before agreeing to a scope.

Around the Valley
Maricopa County's homeowner guidance starts with a Phase 1 application for the site and soils inspection used to design the system, then a Notice of Intent to Discharge for a new conventional or alternative system. The county issues a Construction Authorization before work starts and approves the finished system with a Discharge Authorization or a white tag authorizing backfill. Many building departments want that septic approval before they issue a building permit or certificate of occupancy.
Planning the work
Maricopa County's onsite wastewater FAQs spell out construction details that decide where the tank sits, how deep it goes, and how easy it will be to maintain later:

Common questions
Sometimes. New installations, including alternative and aerobic systems, are evaluated case by case; pumping, repair, inspections, maintenance, and emergency service are the company's main focus. Tell us about the property and project to find out whether we can take it on.
Responsibility for site evaluation, design, permits, fees, engineering, and agency coordination should be defined in the project-specific proposal because requirements vary.
In Maricopa County, only an alternative system requires an engineer to design and lay it out. A conventional system can be designed by the owner or another authorized party, as long as the state and county requirements are met.
Sometimes. Maricopa County reviews that through a Minor Plan Review of the existing system for the proposed use, and adding plumbing fixtures or bedrooms can increase the demand on the system.

“Our septic tank needed to be emptied as it had been many many years since it was last done. … They cleaned up the entire place when they were finished and I would highly recommend them.”
