Which Septic System Is Right for Your Fox Valley Property?

The right system for your Fox Valley property depends on soil conditions, lot size, water table depth, and local regulations.

1. Conventional Gravity System

Cost: $4,000 - $8,000. Best for properties with deep, well-draining soil and adequate slope. The most common and most affordable type.

2. Pressure Distribution System

Cost: $5,000 - $10,000. Best for flat lots or properties with shallow soil. Uses a pump to distribute effluent evenly.

3. Mound System

Cost: $8,000 - $15,000. Best for high water tables, shallow soil, or poor drainage. Common in parts of Outagamie County with clay soil.

4. Aerobic Treatment System

Cost: $10,000 - $20,000. Best for sensitive environments. Uses oxygen to produce cleaner effluent.
