Aerobic & Advanced Septic Systems in Sacramento County
Hoot BNR Treatment From Our Sacramento Home Base
From Orangevale and Fair Oaks to Wilton, Rancho Murieta, Galt and the Delta, we supply, start up and service Hoot aerobic treatment systems for Sacramento County properties where a conventional septic system won’t work.
What Is an Aerobic (Advanced) Septic System?
You’ll hear these systems called aerobic septic systems, aerobic treatment units (ATUs), advanced septic, alternative septic or supplemental treatment. They all mean the same basic idea: instead of relying only on the soil to clean wastewater, the system adds air inside the tank so natural bacteria break the waste down before the water ever leaves the tank.
The Hoot BNR system is an aerobic treatment system. Because the water leaving a Hoot is already highly treated, it can usually go to a much smaller dispersal area, often subsurface drip, that fits sites a standard tank and leach field can’t. The BNR model is also designed to reduce nitrogen.
The Hoot BNR is NSF Standard 40 certified, and every Hoot installed in California is a BNR system. We’re California’s authorized Hoot manufacturer and distributor, based in Sacramento County.
Why Sacramento County Properties Need Advanced Options
Sacramento County has a mix of conditions that make conventional septic hard: hardpan and clay soils that don’t perc, high groundwater near the rivers and in the Delta, foothill rock on the east side, and older neighborhoods where lots are too small for a new leach field.
- Failed perc or mantle test: advanced treatment can make a site work that a conventional system can’t.
- Failing mound or leach field: a Hoot can replace an old system in a smaller footprint.
- Expensive sewer connection: when hooking up to sewer means long runs and big fees, an aerobic system is often the smarter choice.
- Small or crowded lots: traffic-rated Hoot tanks can even go under a driveway.
Septic systems in unincorporated Sacramento County are permitted by the county’s Environmental Management Department. Rules change and every parcel is different, so confirm current requirements with the county and call us with questions.
Our Work in and Around Sacramento County
Orangevale: $100K Sewer Bill Avoided
The county quoted over $100,000 and 30+ days to connect to sewer. A Hoot H-600 BNR did the job in two days for a fraction of the cost.
Clarksburg: Failed Mound Replaced
Just across the river in Yolo County, a failing mound was replaced with an engineered Hoot H-600 BNR, giving the owners their backyard back.
