Because site and soil conditions typically dictate the location, size, and type of septic system, no two septic systems are exactly alike. Houser extensive experience often incorporates traditional approaches and innovative technologies, where beneicial, to design a system that is best suited for the property. Ultimately, Houser’s objective for each septic project is to:

- Septic Tanks
- Aerobic treatment Units
- Peat Filters
Conveyance and Distribution
- Gravity
- Siphon
- Pump to Gravity Distribution
