Septic and grease trap service in Arvada

Most of Arvada is on municipal sewer. The city collects wastewater and sends it to regional treatment, so the average home inside city limits has no septic tank at all. That is the first thing worth saying plainly, because a lot of Arvada searches for septic service are really searches for a sewer line problem.

Septic systems in the Arvada area sit mainly on the unincorporated Jefferson County land at the edges of town. Think the acreage west of Indiana toward Leyden and Ralston, the parcels north of 82nd, and the older properties that were built before city sewer reached them. Those homes run onsite wastewater treatment systems and they need pumping, inspection, and repair like any rural system.

The other half of our Arvada work is commercial. Olde Town, Ralston Road, and the Kipling and Wadsworth corridors carry a lot of restaurant kitchens, and every one of them runs a grease trap or interceptor that has to be pumped and documented on a schedule.

We are a family owned company based in Westminster, about fifteen minutes from most of Arvada. If you are not sure whether your property is on septic or sewer, call us and describe what you are seeing. That question is usually settled in one short conversation.

Local conditions

Local context for Arvada property owners

County
Jefferson County
Septic or sewer
Arvada inside city limits is served by municipal sewer. Onsite septic systems are concentrated in unincorporated Jefferson County pockets on the west and north edges of town, plus a handful of older in-town parcels that were never connected. If your property has a tank, it is almost certainly in one of those areas.
Soil and site conditions
Soils across the Arvada bench run heavy to clay, which drains slowly. Slow soil means a leach field that is less forgiving of overloading, so spacing out laundry and keeping the tank on a regular pumping interval matters more here than it would on sandy ground.
Permit authority
Jefferson County Public Health, Environmental Health Services Division, permits and inspects onsite wastewater treatment systems in unincorporated Jefferson County. The small slice of Arvada that sits in Adams County falls under the Adams County Health Department instead.
Typical system age
Many area systems date to the 1960s through the 1980s, when these parcels were still well outside the sewer district. Steel tanks and undersized leach fields from that era are common, and they are the systems most likely to need repair rather than another pumping.
Response time
Arvada is roughly fifteen minutes from our Westminster yard, so same day and next day slots are usually available.

County septic permit rules that apply here
