Septic Systems done right in Portola

Portola is a high-elevation railroad town in Sierra Valley along the Middle Fork Feather River, where winters are long and cold. BC Brown General Engineering has provided septic work for Portola and the surrounding Plumas County area since 1999, with the equipment and the track record to back it up.

At Portola, septic is the only option, there is no municipal sewer, and shallow soil over rock plus deep frost drive the design. We test the soil, design around setbacks from wells and waterways, and install systems that hold up to mountain conditions.

Portola is east over the mountains into Sierra Valley, so we mobilize crews and equipment there regularly and keep our response times short. We pull the septic permits through Plumas County Environmental Health, handle the perc testing and design coordination, and see the job through final inspection so you are not chasing paperwork.

Portola · Common Questions

Septic Systems FAQs.

Do I need a septic system in Portola?
Most properties around Portola 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 Plumas 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 Plumas County Environmental Health, and design the system around the results.
Do you handle the septic permit in Plumas County?
Yes. We pull the permit through Plumas County Environmental Health, coordinate the design, install the tank and field, and meet the inspector for final sign-off.
