What we know about the ground in Denton County

Western Denton County — Justin, Ponder, Krum, Sanger — is sandy loam that often supports a conventional system. East of I-35 the Blackland clay takes over and aerobic systems become the norm. Lot sizes in the new subdivisions around Argyle and Northlake are often too tight for a conventional drain field, so plan on aerobic there.

Denton County is the other half of our 'voted #1 in Wise and Denton counties' — the new-construction corridor along 380, 377 and I-35W keeps us there most weeks.

Permits: septic permits in Denton County go through Denton County Public Health's Environmental Health division in Denton. We file the permit, schedule the inspection, and stay until it passes.

Common questions in Denton County
Do I need a permit for a septic system in Denton County?Yes. Every new or replacement on-site sewage system in Texas needs a permit from the local authority — in Denton County that's Denton County Public Health's Environmental Health division in Denton. We handle it as part of the job.
Conventional or aerobic — which will my lot need?It depends on the soil, the lot size and the number of bedrooms. A licensed site & soil evaluation answers it; ours is free with the estimate. More septic questions
How long does a storm shelter take to install?Most Hausner in-ground shelters are set, backfilled and finished in one day. More shelter questions
Do you charge to come out and look?No. Site visit, soil evaluation and written estimate are free anywhere in Denton County.
My lot is in a new subdivision near Argyle or Northlake — is it big enough for a conventional drain field?Usually not. Lots in those subdivisions tend to be too small for a conventional field, and east of I-35 the Blackland clay doesn't drain anyway, so plan on an aerobic system. West of I-35 — Justin, Ponder, Krum, Sanger — sandy loam often still supports a conventional system.
