Septic services across Citrus and Hernando counties
Every service below is performed by an independent licensed local septic contractor. The planned lane leads: installs, drainfield replacement, and the enhanced nitrogen-reducing upgrades the springs BMAP mandate now drives inside the Priority Focus Areas.
The mandate lane
Nitrogen-Reducing Septic Upgrade (ENR-OSTDS)
The upgrade the BMAP mandate requires for repairs and modifications inside a spring Priority Focus Area since 2025-12-15. What qualifies, what it costs, and how the county permit works.
New construction
New Septic Installation
Design, soil evaluation, permitting, and installation for new construction across both counties, including the sub-one-acre platted lots common in Citrus Springs and Beverly Hills.
The big repair
Drainfield Repair and Replacement
When a drainfield reaches the end of its life, replacement is a permitted, engineered project. Karst geology and coastal water tables shape the design here.
Real estate
Septic Inspection
Due-diligence inspections for home purchases and sales. Requested by buyers and commonly required by FHA and VA lenders; Florida law sets no point-of-sale mandate (FS 381.00651).
Mid-ticket
Septic System Repair
Tanks, lines, baffles, and lids. Honest triage matters: some repairs are simple, and some are really a drainfield problem or an ENR trigger in disguise.
Process support
Permitting and Soil Evaluation
The county health department construction permit and site and soil evaluation that come before any compliant installation, replacement, or major repair.
Maintenance
Septic Tank Pumping
Routine maintenance on a sensible schedule. A modest service by design; if pumping keeps failing to solve the problem, the drainfield conversation starts here.
What it costs, and what happens after you send it
- What does a septic system cost on the Springs Coast?
- Two bands, and the gap between them is the whole story here: roughly $5,000 to $12,000 for a conventional install, against roughly $15,000 to $35,000 or more for an enhanced nitrogen-reducing or aerobic system in a BMAP springs zone. Those are labeled estimates from published Florida data rather than a quoted schedule. Which of those two bands you fall into is decided by the ground and the map rather than by preference. Inland parcels with room and workable soil can keep a conventional design on the table, while the springs Priority Focus Areas and a high water table push a property toward an enhanced system. a perc or soil test runs roughly $600 to $2,000 nationally where it is ordered privately, though in these counties the health department performs the evaluation. County permit fees are separate from what a contractor charges: the verified figures are $350.00 for the permit and $100.00 for application and plan review. The mandate guide maps which framework applies parcel by parcel.
