New Systems Built for Your Property

Septic Squad installs septic systems and tanks for residential properties throughout Orlando, Florida and surrounding areas.

Installing a new septic system or replacing an aging tank involves more than digging a hole and setting equipment in place. Septic Squad works with homeowners in Orlando, Winter Springs, Longwood, and surrounding areas to size systems correctly based on home layout, water usage, and site conditions that affect drainage and absorption. Whether you are building a new home or replacing a system that has failed, the installation must account for Central Florida soil types, lot dimensions, and the water table levels common in Orlando neighborhoods.


System installations include the tank, drain field, and all necessary components such as pumps and filters. The team evaluates your property to determine the best placement for long-term performance and compliance with local codes. Proper sizing prevents overload, reduces the risk of premature failure, and ensures wastewater moves through the system without backup or saturation in the yard.


Schedule a septic system or tank installation consultation to review your property and discuss what your home needs.

How a septic installation is planned and completed

The installation process begins with a site evaluation in Orlando or a surrounding area, where the technician examines soil conditions, measures the property, and identifies the best location for the tank and drain field. You will receive a system design that matches your home size and usage patterns, along with a timeline for excavation, installation, and inspection. The work includes digging trenches, setting the tank, laying drain field lines, and connecting the system to your home's plumbing.


Once the installation is finished, your drains will function normally, wastewater will flow into the tank and out to the drain field, and you will not see standing water or soggy areas in the yard. The system will operate quietly in the background, and you will only need to schedule routine maintenance to keep it working properly.


Installation times vary depending on property access, soil conditions, and whether the work is part of a new build or a full replacement. Septic Squad coordinates with other contractors if needed and ensures the system is tested and approved before the job is considered complete. The service does not include removal of old landscaping or restoration of decorative features, but the team will work to minimize disruption to your yard.

Homeowners often have questions about system sizing, installation timelines, and what happens after the work is finished.

It helps to know what to expect

How do you determine the right size for a septic system?
System size is based on the number of bedrooms in your home, daily water usage, and lot size. The design also accounts for soil conditions and drainage capacity on your Orlando property.
How long does a septic system installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in three to five days, depending on site access, soil conditions, and whether the work includes a full drain field replacement. You will receive a timeline during the consultation.
What should I do after a new system is installed?
You can resume normal water usage immediately, but you should avoid planting deep-rooted trees near the drain field and schedule your first maintenance visit within three to five years.
Why do septic systems in Orlando need special design considerations?
Central Florida soil and high water tables affect how well drain fields absorb wastewater. Systems must be designed to handle these conditions and prevent saturation or backup during heavy rain.
What happens if my property has limited space for a drain field?
Septic Squad can design systems for smaller lots using alternative drain field layouts or advanced treatment components. The site evaluation will determine what options are available for your property.
