What moves the price for any of these
- Access. Tanks with lids at grade vs 12+ inches under sod — digging is time.
- Distance from Beaumont. No trip surcharge on our regular route, but very remote calls (past Sour Lake, past Sabine Pass) may add mileage.
- Soil conditions. Heavy clay slows excavation and can force aerobic install where conventional was planned.
- TCEQ permit route. Standard OSSF permit vs engineered PE-stamped design vs commercial.
- Time of year. Hurricane season (June–November) load is unpredictable; post-storm demand can push scheduled work out a week or two.
- Real estate deadlines. Rush lab, rush report, rush inspection all carry premiums — but they exist and we can meet them.
