When installing a septic system, choosing the right contractor is everything.
This isn't a project you want to hand off to the lowest bidder or a company that "does it all." Septic installation is a specialized job that demands experience, precision, and a deep understanding of local codes and soil conditions.
At Long Hill Contracting, we specialize in septic installation. We've helped homeowners, builders, and property developers across Central New Jersey complete hundreds of successful installs safely, efficiently, and to code.
Before you choose any contractor, here are five critical questions to ask and how Long Hill Contracting sets the standard for everyone.
1. Are You Licensed and Insured for Septic Installation in NJ?
This should be non-negotiable.
A licensed and insured contractor protects you from liability and ensures your system is installed according to New Jersey's strict regulatory standards. Septic systems must be installed to meet exact requirements, and the right contractor must know the rules inside and out.
✅ Long Hill Contracting is fully licensed and insured in New Jersey. We work directly with local inspectors, townships, and engineers to ensure every installation is done right the first time.
2. Do You Work with Approved Septic System Plans?
Septic installation isn't guesswork. It's a precise process based on engineered plans that account for soil conditions, property layout, and local health codes.
Some contractors try to cut corners or "improvise,” which often leads to costly mistakes, rework, or permit failures.
✅ At Long Hill Contracting, we install systems exactly as your licensed septic engineer designed. We know how to read and execute engineered plans accurately and coordinate closely with town officials to keep the project moving smoothly.
3. How Much Experience Do You Have with Septic Installations?
Many general contractors or landscapers offer septic installation "on the side." But experience matters especially when dealing with underground infrastructure, groundwater management, and strict inspection timelines.
✅ Septic installation is the core of what we do. Long Hill Contracting has years of hands-on experience across various site conditions throughout Middlesex, Somerset, and surrounding counties. From residential homes to new developments, we've seen it all and know how to get the job done right.
4. Will You Communicate with Me Throughout the Process?
Septic installation can feel overwhelming if you're unsure what's happening on your property. The right contractor won't leave you in the dark.
✅ We keep you informed every step of the way. From the first on-site evaluation to the final inspection, the Long Hill team is responsive, respectful, and transparent. You'll always know what's next and why it matters.
5. Do You Stand Behind Your Work?
Trust matters. When you hire a septic installer, you're not just paying for equipment and excavation; you trust their professionalism and long-term reliability.
✅ At Long Hill Contracting, we take pride in our work. Our name is on every job, and we treat your property like ours. We show up when we say we will. We do what we say we'll do. And we don't cut corners ever.
