Working in Ellis County
What we know about the ground in Ellis County
Ellis County is Blackland clay almost end to end. That means aerobic spray or drip systems for nearly every new home outside sewer, and it means the soil moves — which is also why we anchor and set storm shelters the way we do.
Midlothian, Waxahachie and Red Oak are growing fast on acreage lots; we coordinate with the builder so the septic is in and inspected before the final.
Permits: septic permits in Ellis County go through the Ellis County Development Department in Waxahachie. We file the permit, schedule the inspection, and stay until it passes.

Common questions in Ellis County
Do I need a permit for a septic system in Ellis County?Yes. Every new or replacement on-site sewage system in Texas needs a permit from the local authority — in Ellis County that's the Ellis County Development Department in Waxahachie. 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 Ellis County.
Does the soil in Ellis County affect how a storm shelter is installed?It does. Ellis County is Blackland clay almost end to end, and that clay swells and shrinks with the weather. That's why we anchor and set in-ground shelters the way we do, and it's the same clay that puts nearly every new home outside sewer on an aerobic spray or drip system.
