Every company, most reviewed first

Ordered by review count, which is the only ranking here nobody paid for. Our own trucks are marked so you can tell.

By town

A town gets its own page once three companies list an address there. Below that the listings live on this page, because a page with one name on it is not worth the click.

Also listed, with one or two companies each and no page of their own. Anthem, Arizona City, Litchfield Park, New River, Sun City, Sun City West, Tempe, Tonopah, Wittmann.

Who Regulates This Work Here

Who regulates this work in Arizona

Arizona licenses this as a building trade rather than as a public health credential. Installing a septic system commercially means holding a CR-41 from the Registrar of Contractors. The permit is separate and comes from your county, which runs its own program under state delegation. A new system always needs one, and so does a significant repair.

Authority
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, with permitting delegated to all fifteen counties

What to ask before you hire

  • Their CR-41 number. It is a public contractor license and can be looked up before anybody digs.
  • Which county issues the permit, because Arizona delegates to all fifteen of them.
  • If you are buying or selling, who is doing the transfer inspection. Arizona wants one before the house changes hands.

The exact certifications, the exam and the fees differ by state and they change. Check the current rules with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, with permitting delegated to all fifteen counties before you rely on any of it.
