Exco provides land clearing, excavation, and septic system services throughout Carroll County, Kentucky. If you are building, developing, buying, or maintaining property here, any new or repaired septic (onsite sewage) system also requires a permit from your local health department before work begins. Here is what to expect for site work in Carroll County, plus exactly who to contact for septic permitting.
Carroll County sits at the confluence of the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers, with terrain that ranges from narrow river-bottom valleys to steep ridges rising several hundred feet above the water. That range in elevation and soil type means land clearing, excavation, and septic system requirements can vary significantly from one part of the county to another.
Before installing, replacing, or repairing a septic system in Carroll County, an onsite sewage permit application must be submitted to the Three Rivers District Health Department. A certified environmental health specialist will evaluate the soil and site, approve a system design sized for the property, and perform a final inspection before the system can be covered and used. Exco handles the land clearing, excavation, and site prep needed to get your property ready for a passing soil evaluation and permit approval.
