Aerobic Installation

Aerobic Systems
Done to Code.

When soil conditions, lot size, or proximity to water require an aerobic treatment system, we install high-quality units built to last and fully compliant with Oklahoma regulations.

When Your Property Requires an Aerobic System

Not every property can accommodate a conventional septic system. If your soil fails a perc test, your lot is too small for an adequate drain field, or your property is within a certain distance of a water body or neighboring well, Oklahoma DEQ will require an aerobic treatment unit (ATU) instead.

Aerobic systems treat wastewater more thoroughly than conventional systems by introducing oxygen into the treatment process. The treated effluent is then disinfected — typically with chlorine — before being discharged through spray heads or a subsurface system.

Talley Backhoe and Septic Services installs aerobic systems from reputable manufacturers and handles everything from permitting through final inspection. We'll also walk you through your ongoing maintenance requirements so you know exactly what to expect.
