Septic Systems done right in Durham

BC Brown General Engineering has handled septic work across Durham and Butte County since 1999. Durham is BC Brown's hometown, a tight-knit farming community of almond and walnut orchards between Chico and Gridley, and that local knowledge shapes how we approach every job here.

Septic around Durham contends with clay percolation and, on some lots, hardpan. System type follows the soil test, and we install what the ground can actually treat.

On the heavy valley soils around Durham, 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.

Durham is right in our own backyard, since our yard is on Goodspeed Street in Durham, 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.
