Septic System Installation & Repairs in NEPA
RBR Earthworks installs septic systems and drain fields across Northeastern Pennsylvania, along with the excavation, trenching, grading, and site restoration that goes with them. Bring us your approved design and we will build it.
Septic Projects Start With the Right Plan
Septic work depends on the approved system design, soil conditions, access, drainage, tank layout, drain field layout, and final restoration needs.
From Approved Design to Final Site Restoration
Septic systems are not one-size-fits-all. Before pricing or installation can begin, the property needs a perc test and an approved septic system design. In Pennsylvania that process runs through your local Sewage Enforcement Officer, and it is handled by them and the system designer, not by the excavation contractor.
Once the design is approved, that is where RBR Earthworks comes in. We review the plan and give you an estimate for the full installation: excavation, septic tank set, drain field, trenching, backfill, grading, and putting the property back the way it should be.

We Build the System. Somebody Else Designs It.
There is a clean line between the approval side of a septic project and the construction side, and it is worth knowing which is which before you start calling around.
The perc test and the system design are handled by your local Sewage Enforcement Officer and a qualified designer. That is how Pennsylvania regulates it. RBR Earthworks is the contractor who takes that approved design and puts the system in the ground.
If you call us before you have a design, we will tell you exactly who to call first. No runaround.
What RBR Does Not Do
Perc tests and soil probes are performed by the Sewage Enforcement Officer. Septic system design and engineering come from a qualified designer. Permit applications and approvals run through your township and the SEO.
RBR also does not handle septic pumping, tank cleaning, or any interior plumbing work. What we do is the excavation, the installation, and the site restoration.
Every Septic System Is Different
Septic system pricing depends on the approved design, soil conditions, tank size, drain field layout, site access, trenching requirements, stone needs, and restoration work.
RBR Earthworks provides septic estimates after reviewing the completed septic design. Once the approved design is available, we can give a much more accurate estimate for the work required.
How to Get Started With a Septic System
If you need a new septic system, replacement, or major repair, the first step is getting the property tested and designed through the proper local process. Steps 1 through 3 are handled by others. RBR takes it from step 4.
Contact the SEO
Contact your local Sewage Enforcement Officer to start the septic approval process and schedule the required perc test.
Complete the Perc Test
The SEO performs the perc test to determine whether the property is suitable for a septic system and where the system may be located.
Get the System Designed
After the property passes, a qualified designer lays out the system based on the property and soil conditions.
Send RBR the Design
Once you have the approved septic design, send it to RBR so we can review the scope, access, and site work required.
Estimate & Installation
Because every septic system varies by design, RBR can provide a detailed estimate after reviewing the approved septic plan, then install it.

Questions About Septic System Installation & Repairs in NEPA
Here are a few common questions property owners ask before starting septic system installation, septic repairs, drain field work, or septic excavation.
Does RBR do the perc test?
No. The perc test is performed by your local Sewage Enforcement Officer, and the system design comes from a qualified designer. RBR Earthworks is the contractor who installs the system once that design is approved. If you are not sure where to start, call us and we will point you to the right office.
Can RBR price a septic system before the design is done?
Usually, no. Septic pricing depends heavily on the approved design, soil conditions, tank size, drain field layout, access, materials, trenching, and restoration work.
What do I need before RBR can estimate septic work?
The best starting point is an approved septic design from the local Sewage Enforcement Officer. Once RBR reviews the design, we can estimate the installation and site work required.
Does RBR install septic tanks and drain fields?
Yes. RBR handles excavation, tank placement, drain field installation, trenching, grading, backfill, and site restoration for septic projects built to an approved design.
Can RBR help with septic repairs?
