Install or Fix Your Septic System


Septic Repair and Installation in Greenwood, South Carolina and Surrounding Areas

When you live outside municipal sewer areas in Greenwood or throughout the Upstate, your home or building depends on a septic system to handle wastewater. Over time, systems fail due to age, soil shifting, or overuse, and when that happens, you may notice slow drains, standing water in the yard, or sewage odors near the drain field. New construction or properties being developed also require septic installation from the start, and the work must be coordinated with site clearing, grading, and building timelines to avoid delays.


Advanced Services Group installs new septic systems and handles repairs or replacements for failing systems throughout Greenwood and other neighboring communities. We work with rural residential properties, new builds, and sites where existing systems no longer meet code or function properly. Installation involves excavation, tank placement, drain field construction, and coordination with soil testing and permitting requirements in Upstate South Carolina.


If you need septic work on a property in Greenwood and surrounding areas, reach out to schedule an evaluation and discuss installation or repair options.

What Gets Done During Site Preparation

Septic installation in Greenwood begins with a site evaluation to determine soil type, slope, and where the system can be placed in relation to the home, well, and property lines. We excavate for the tank and drain field, install the tank and distribution lines, and backfill the system once connections are tested. The drain field is graded to promote proper absorption, and the system is inspected before final approval. For repairs, we assess whether the tank, lines, or drain field are the source of the problem and replace or repair the affected components.


After installation, you'll have a fully functioning wastewater system that handles household or building use without requiring connection to municipal sewer lines. Drains flow normally, and the yard no longer shows signs of pooling water or sewage backup.


We coordinate with land clearing and grading services when needed to prepare the site for installation, and we handle permitting and inspections required by local health departments. If your property has challenging soil conditions or limited space for a drain field, we adjust the design to meet code while working within the site's constraints. This service does not include ongoing septic pumping or maintenance once the system is installed.

Property owners in Greenwood and throughout the Upstate typically ask about installation timelines, repair costs, and what to do when a system fails. These answers help clarify what to expect during septic work.

Most People Want to Know How This Works

What are signs that a septic system needs repair or replacement?
Slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors near the drain field, standing water or soggy ground above the system, and backups in toilets or sinks all indicate a failing system. If you notice any of these, it's worth having the system evaluated before the problem worsens.
How long does it take to install a new septic system?
Installation typically takes three to five days depending on site conditions, soil type, and system size. Permitting and soil testing add time to the overall timeline, so it's best to start the process early if you're coordinating with a new build.
Can a septic system be installed on a sloped or wooded property?
Yes, but the site may require clearing, grading, or a custom drain field design to meet code and ensure proper drainage. We evaluate the property and adjust the plan based on what the terrain allows.
What happens during a septic system evaluation?
We inspect the tank, drain field, and distribution lines to identify the source of the problem, and we may perform dye tests or camera inspections to assess system function. Based on what we find, we recommend repair, replacement, or component upgrades.
Do I need a permit to install or repair a septic system in Greenwood?
Yes, septic work requires permits and inspections from the local health department to ensure the system meets code and is placed correctly. We handle the permitting process as part of the installation or repair project.

If your property in Greenwood needs a new septic system or repairs to an existing one, Advanced Services Group can evaluate the site, explain your options, and coordinate the work with other site preparation services.
