Site work in Mount Holly, done by one crew

Mount Holly is a Gaston County town on the west bank of the Catawba River, just across from Charlotte. Riverside and sloped lots mean careful grading and erosion control, and properties outside sewer service need septic systems designed around the soil and the setbacks from the water.

Septic permits in Mount Holly

In Mount Holly, septic permits are issued by Gaston County's environmental health office under North Carolina's statewide rules.

The process has three steps. First an Improvement Permit, where the county confirms the soil and space can support a system. Then a Construction Authorization, which approves the specific system and where it goes. Finally an Operation Permit, issued after the county inspects the installed system and before it is covered.

We handle permit acquisition and inspection coordination as part of every installation, so you are not chasing paperwork.

North Carolina septic work is performed under On-Site Wastewater Contractor Certification #14978 (Grade Level II).

Lake and waterfront lots

Lots near the water come with extra rules. Shoreline buffers and setbacks limit where a drain field, a driveway or new grading can go, and slopes down to the water need proper erosion control so soil stays out of the lake. We work that out at the site evaluation, so the plan fits the lot before any digging starts.
