Septic Systems
Why were #1 in the #2 Business
Septic systems are one of the most critical—and least forgiving—components of a rural property.
When installed incorrectly or without coordination, problems often stay hidden until repairs are costly, disruptive, and unavoidable.
SISU provides licensed septic system installation for rural residential, ranch, and estate properties across Central Oregon. Our approach integrates septic planning with excavation, grading, access, and long-term land use—so systems perform as intended for decades, not just until final inspection.
Licensed Septic Installation
SISU is fully licensed to install septic systems in accordance with state and local requirements.
-
Septic system installation
-
System layout and coordination with site development
-
Trenching, backfill, and compaction
-
Drain field installation and protection
-
Verification of installation prior to concealment
Every system is installed with attention to soil conditions, drainage, access, and future site use—not just minimum code requirements.
Built for Ranch Properties
Septic installation on acreage properties is different than in-town work.
-
Large rural parcels and ranches
-
Estate and custom-home sites
-
Properties outside city limits
-
Multi-phase developments and long-term builds
-
High risk systems bordering waterways
Longer utility runs, varied soils, seasonal access, and future expansion all need to be considered upfront.We plan septic systems to work with the land—not against it.
Why Septic Planning Matters
Septic systems are buried early and expected to work quietly for decades. The Challenges:
-
Adverse soil conditions
-
Proximity to Waterways
-
Premature system failure
-
Drainage conflicts and surfacing effluent
-
Costly repairs that disrupt finished landscapes
-
Limitations on future building or land use
A properly planned and installed septic system protects your investment and preserves the usability of your property.
What's an ATT?
Advanced treatment systems demand experience to perform correctly over the long term.
-
Sites are located near protected waterways such as the Deschutes
-
Soil conditions limit conventional options
-
Groundwater separation distances are restricted
-
Environmental protection requirements are elevated
-
Long-term system performance is critical
SISU brings over seven years of hands-on experience installing ATT septic systems,
Why it matters
Poorly planned site work creates problems that don’t show up until it’s too late,
A smart approach helps you:
-
Avoid surprise repairs caused by drainage issues, settlement, or access failures
-
Prioritize site improvements based on long-term function, not short-term cost
-
Extend the usable life of roads, pads, and infrastructure
-
Make proactive decisions backed by experience and verification, not assumptions
-
Align land development with how the property will actually be used over time
What we deliver:
SISU approaches excavation as the foundation of the entire project—not a standalone task.
We remove risk and uncertainty by:
-
Planning site work with what comes next in mind, reducing rework and change orders
-
Executing and verifying work below grade, where most costly mistakes occur
-
Coordinating excavation with utilities, structures, and access, not in isolation
-
Documenting critical work for future construction, resale, or financing
-
Building infrastructure that performs over decades, not just during construction
