Septic Installation
We install new septic systems for new homes and replace systems that have failed. The tank and the lateral lines are sized to the house and laid out to fit the lot.

Inola's town water and sewer stop at the town limits. Past that line, homes in rural Rogers County treat their wastewater on their own lots. Septic system installation in Inola, OK means those lots: a new home on acreage, or a system that has quit. The ground outside town is the hard part. Much of it is slow clay that stays wet from late fall into spring.
Eastern Oklahoma Septic Services is based in Sapulpa, and Inola is part of our service area. We handle septic system installation for new homes on lots without town sewer, and we replace systems that have failed. We put in conventional tanks with lateral lines and aerobic septic systems with spray heads. Call or text (918) 645-0557, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

The Inola Public Works Authority runs water, sewer and trash service inside the town limits. The town's chamber of commerce says the same: those utilities stop at the limits. A home inside them is on town sewer and does not need a septic system.
Rogers County Rural Water District 6 keeps its office in Inola. A rural water district brings water to the house, but it does not take wastewater away. Homes on acreage outside the limits treat it on site, and that is the septic work around Inola.
An Inola mailing address can sit well outside the town. On Census maps, the 74036 ZIP code covers about 128 square miles of land. The town limits take up less than 7 of them. The ZIP also reaches the Census places of Tiawah and Gregory. Inola itself has become a bedroom community for Tulsa.
Take the Rogers County land outside the Inola town limits, within about 3 miles of them. On NRCS soil maps, a sample of 121 points there shows four soils covering just over half of it. They are Dennis, Bates, Taloka and the Choteau soil series.
NRCS rates about 96 percent of that land very limited for septic absorption fields. It flags slow water movement on about 90 percent and depth to a saturated zone on about two thirds. Taloka soils hold a perched water table 12 to 24 inches down from November to May in normal years. Choteau soils hold one 2.5 to 3 feet down from December to April.
The Verdigris River runs west and south of town, past Newt Graham Lock and Dam. Flood-plain soils, mostly the Verdigris and Osage series, line the river bottoms and the creeks around Inola. NRCS lists them as occasionally or frequently flooded, about 13 percent of the sample. A soil map is a guide, and the soil test on your lot decides.
Conventional lateral lines send the water leaving the tank into the soil under the yard. They need soil that takes water at a steady rate, with room above any wet layer or rock. Slow clay and a high seasonal water table work against that on much of the land around Inola.
An aerobic system treats the wastewater first, and spray heads put it on the surface of the yard. DEQ lets an aerobic system with spray use a design-only route based on the property's location. Those designs always assume Group 5 soil, the highest clay content. In Rogers County that means at least 4,855 square feet of spray area for a three-bedroom home.
A percolation test can only clear a site for conventional lateral lines. Only DEQ or a soil profiler holding DEQ certification may run a soil profile test. That test sets every system type the lot may use. Soil testing and system design are not our work. We install the system DEQ approves for the lot.
A new septic system on a lot outside the town limits goes through DEQ. The Report for On-Site Sewage, often called the 581, sets the system types the property may use. Next, DEQ issues an Authorization to Construct, which has to be bought before a new system goes in. Last, the new system is inspected and approved before it goes into use.
A system already in the ground meets the same wet soils every winter and spring. Soggy ground over the field or slow drains after rain can point to trouble. Our guide to the signs of failing lateral lines covers more. We find the cause on site and handle lateral line repair or a new field when one is needed.
Aerobic owners around Inola can set up aerobic septic system maintenance on a regular schedule. Where the clay is too slow for lateral lines, the spray heads do the work. They need to keep running.
