Site work in Waxhaw, done by one crew

Waxhaw is where Caddel is based, so these are the jobs closest to home. Outside the historic downtown, much of Waxhaw is larger residential and rural lots, which means septic systems, long driveways, building pads and utility runs for new homes. We handle all of it, from the first soil evaluation to the final grade.

Septic permits in Waxhaw

In Waxhaw, septic permits are issued by Union 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).

Large lots and new homes

Building on a bigger lot usually starts with clearing, a driveway and a building pad, then utility runs to the house and a septic system sized to the number of bedrooms. Doing all of it with one crew keeps the schedule tight and means one company is responsible for how the ground is shaped and drained.
