Septic Systems Built With Your Timeline

New construction home septic installation coordinated with builders in Odessa, Texas.

When you are building a home in Odessa, the septic system needs to be installed before the foundation is poured and finished before the final inspection. Your crew cannot wait weeks for a septic contractor to show up, and your site plan does not allow for improvised layouts. Camacho Septic Company works directly with builders to install septic systems that align with construction schedules and meet the specific requirements of your lot size, soil type, and home design.

The installation begins with a custom layout based on your home size, the number of bedrooms, and the available space on your property. The system includes a septic tank sized for your household, a distribution box, and a drain field engineered to handle the daily wastewater volume your home will produce. In Odessa and the surrounding rural developments, the system is positioned to avoid interference with driveways, utility lines, and future landscaping. The crew brings excavation equipment suited for both single custom homes and multi-lot subdivision projects, and the work is completed in phases that match your construction timeline.

Builders who need septic installation scheduled early in the construction process can contact Camacho Septic Company to coordinate timing and site access in Odessa.

How the System Fits Your Build Schedule

The septic installation happens in two main stages. First, the tank and distribution box are set into excavated pits, leveled, and backfilled once the plumbing stub-outs are connected. Then, after your home framing and roofing are complete, the drain field trenches are dug, gravel and perforated pipe are laid, and the system is covered and graded. The crew in Odessa schedules both phases around your other contractors so that no one is delayed waiting for access to the site.

After the system is installed, you will see a flat, graded area where the drain field is located, with no standing water or uneven settling. The tank risers will be flush with the ground or slightly above grade, depending on your site requirements. The system is tested and ready for use once the final plumbing connections are made inside the home.

The installation includes all excavation, tank placement, pipe installation, and backfilling. The crew is equipped to handle rocky soil, tight lot lines, and subdivision projects with multiple homes under construction at the same time. The system is sized and installed according to local health department standards, and the work is completed with consistent quality whether it is a single custom build or a multi-lot development.

Questions builders usually ask before scheduling

Builders working on new homes in Odessa often want to know how the septic installation will fit into their construction schedule, what information is needed upfront, and how long the crew will need on site.

What information do you need before starting the installation?
You will need the site plan, home layout with bedroom count, and any perc test or soil evaluation results if available. The crew will also need access to the lot for excavation equipment and confirmation of utility line locations.
How long does the installation take from start to finish?
The tank and distribution box installation typically takes one to two days, and the drain field installation takes another day or two once the home is framed. Total time depends on soil conditions, weather, and coordination with other contractors on site.
What size septic tank is used for new construction homes?
Tank size is determined by the number of bedrooms in the home. A three-bedroom home typically requires a 1,000-gallon tank, while larger homes may need a 1,250 or 1,500-gallon tank based on expected daily wastewater volume.
When should the septic installation be scheduled during construction?
The tank installation should happen after rough grading and before the foundation is poured. The drain field is installed after framing and roofing are complete, so heavy equipment does not damage the system during the build.
Can you install septic systems for multiple homes in a subdivision?
Yes. Camacho Septic Company has the crew and equipment to handle multi-lot projects in Odessa and can install systems on a staggered schedule to match your build timeline across several homes.
