Septic Installation
in Ardmore TN

Septic Contractor Serving Ardmore TN and Limestone County AL

Ardmore is a unique community that straddles the Tennessee-Alabama state line, sitting across both Lincoln County, Tennessee and Limestone County, Alabama. For most contractors, that dual-state position creates complexity. For Marberry Construction, it is home. We are based in Fayetteville, TN, about 20 miles away, and we have installed septic systems on both sides of the Ardmore area line.

Most properties in the Ardmore area are on private septic. Municipal sewer service is limited in this part of the border region, which means a properly designed and installed septic system is a requirement on virtually every residential property. Whether you are building a new home or replacing an aging system on an existing property, the permit process runs through the appropriate county and state agency depending on which side of the line you are on. We determine that at the outset and manage the entire process.

Soil conditions along the Tennessee-Alabama border vary by lot. The transition zone between the Limestone Valley in Alabama and the Highland Rim in Tennessee creates a range of soil types in a relatively small geographic area. Some lots have excellent drainage and are straightforward candidates for conventional systems. Others have clay-heavy or rocky conditions that require a different approach. We assess your specific lot before recommending a system type or a cost.

For new construction projects near Ardmore, we coordinate the septic permit alongside the building permit to make sure both systems are approved and on schedule before the build begins. Delays in the septic permit process are one of the most common causes of construction schedule problems in this area, and managing both permits in-house eliminates that risk.

We provide written estimates after reviewing your lot and the applicable permit requirements. The number we give you is based on your actual property, not a generic estimate. Site assessments in the Ardmore area are free.
