Septic Systems done right in Chico

BC Brown General Engineering has handled septic work across Chico and Butte County since 1999. Chico is the largest city in Butte County and BC Brown's home base, the commercial hub of the northern Sacramento Valley anchored by Chico State and Bidwell Park, and that local knowledge shapes how we approach every job here.

On the heavy valley soils around Chico, percolation is the whole design question. Tight clay drains slowly, so the leach field has to be sized right, and where soils are poor we install engineered or pressure-distribution systems that meet code instead of failing in a few years.

Chico is just north of our Durham yard, so we mobilize crews and equipment there regularly and keep our response times short. We pull the septic permits through the Butte County Environmental Health Division, handle the perc testing and design coordination, and see the job through final inspection so you are not chasing paperwork.

What goes into septic systems in Chico

  • Perc and soil-profile testing

Chico · Common Questions

Septic Systems FAQs.

Do I need a septic system in Chico?
Most properties around Chico are beyond municipal sewer, so a private septic system is required. We test the soil, design a system that fits your lot, and install it to Butte County code.
How does the perc test work?
A percolation and soil-profile test shows how fast your ground drains, which sets the size and type of leach field. We run the test, submit it to the Butte County Environmental Health Division, and design the system around the results.
Do you handle the septic permit in Butte County?
Yes. We pull the permit through the Butte County Environmental Health Division, coordinate the design, install the tank and field, and meet the inspector for final sign-off.
