ATT septic installer in Polk County, OR
Iron Edge Excavation installs ATT septic systems for properties across Polk County, OR that cannot support a standard system.
Expert ATT septic installer in Polk County, OR
Some properties in Polk County simply cannot support a conventional septic system. High groundwater, poor soil permeability, small lot size, or proximity to a water source can all rule out a standard drainfield. That is where an Alternative Treatment Technology, or ATT, septic system comes in. An ATT system adds an advanced treatment stage between the septic tank and the absorption area, producing cleaner effluent before it ever reaches the soil. This allows safe wastewater dispersal on sites where a conventional system would fail Oregon DEQ requirements. Iron Edge Excavation installs ATT systems for residential properties across Polk County and surrounding areas including Dallas, Monmouth, Falls City, Grande Ronde, Salem, Lincoln City, McMinnville, Albany, and beyond. Rural lots throughout the Willamette Valley and Coast Range foothills often present the exact site conditions that make ATT installation necessary. If your site evaluation has flagged your property as needing an ATT system, contact Iron Edge Excavation to get the process moving.
