Septic Design, Permitting and Installations
Are You in Need of Septic Design or Septic Alteration? Macho Contracting Designs, Permits and Installs Septic Systems in Arizona
In the State of Arizona, onsite wastewater systems, or septic systems, are regulated at the County level. Regulation, oversight, permitting, inspections and adherence to state code for septic systems will be driven by the county your reside in, not the city. Each county may function slightly different but all counties abide by the Arizona Revised Statutes. The ARS is what county officials, inspectors, designers and installers utilize for all phases of septic systems both in utility and design.
Macho Contracting focuses septic design services in two counties, Maricopa & Yavapai.
Design Process
The first step in designing a septic system is to have a site evaluation performed by a qualified professional. The site evaluation will assess the soil conditions, groundwater depth, and other factors to determine the suitability of the site for a septic system. Some items that the site evaluator and designer will look for are soil test results or percolation, limiting conditions, slope and drainage, landscape and hardscape, building size, and building layout.
Once the site evaluation has been completed, the designer will develop a septic system design that meets the County Environmental requirements. The design will include the size and type of septic tank, the size and layout of the disposal (leach field), mechanics and other components. The septic system design will be submitted to the county for review and approval. When the design has been approved, the septic system can be installed by a licensed contractor.
Maricopa County
Septic system design in Maricopa County is governed by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department. Maricopa County has developed a number of resources to help homeowners and businesses design and install septic systems that meet the county's requirements.
Maricopa County Septic Permits
Yavapai County
Much like Maricopa County, septic system design in Yavapai County is governed by the Yavapai County Environmental Services Department. Yavapai has also developed a number of resources to help homeowners and businesses design and install septic systems that meet the county's requirements.
Onsite Wastewater Mapping & Survey
Our Septic System Mapping and Survey Service is designed to ensure compliance with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) requirements and county regulations.

Detailed Mapping: Precisely map the septic system and its components to accurately represent their locations.
Soil Treatment Area Survey: Conduct a thorough survey of the soil treatment area to confirm boundaries and compliance with regulatory standards.
Distribution Box Assessment: Examine and map the distribution box to verify placement and functionality.
Setback Compliance: Ensure the septic system and components meet requirements regarding setbacks from Natural Area Open Space (NAOS) and other county-mandated areas.

This service is essential for maintaining compliance and ensuring the proper function of your septic system.

I was having trouble with getting proper water supply to my ice maker. Two companies were unable to fix it. Macho had re-plumber my house when I first moved in, so I called Alfredo out to see it he could figure it out and in 10 minutes he had it sorted. -

Macho dudes and dudettes were incredible. Very seldom do I work with such professional, excellent communicators. They swooped in when other people were pushing us aside due to our time requirements and they provided a seamless, happy experience that could have gone in many directions. Thank you all so much! I’ll keep ya on my speed dial for any possible oh sh*t moments. -
“Our septic system backed up and we knew we needed some repairs to get it back in working order. I called Macho Contracting and Alfredo, the owner, came out the same day to take a look. Immediately, Alfredo diagnosed the problem and took the time to explain”- Adam R.
“Incredible Team!”
Our septic system backed up and we knew we needed some repairs to get it back in working order. I called Macho Contracting and Alfredo, the owner, came out the same day to take a look. Immediately, Alfredo diagnosed the problem and took the time to explain how the whole system works and why he felt this was the problem.- Adam R.
He was very kind to answer all of my questions in detail. He also took the time to assess the access into our yard and determined we could not get a drill rig in to bore a new seep pit.
He recommended that we change the system to a leach field for better operation.
I called around and got more opinions and quotes, however nobody seemed as knowledgable or trustworthy as Alfredo.
Alfredo and his team got us scheduled for the job within a few days and performed the work. His team was amazing, they are so nice and courteous. They dealt with me asking questions everyday and truly cared about making me comfortable with what they were doing. On a side note, Joel is an amazing equipment operator, he took great care when trenching to miss all of my irrigation pipes.
I will be using Alfredo and Macho Contracting for all of my plumbing needs moving forward, in fact we already have them scheduled to do an ADEQ certification on a house we are selling as Alfredo and Joel are certified NAWT/ADEQ Inspectors.
Thank you Alfredo and team, you have restored my faith in contractors! -

I had an issue with the lift station for my septic system and the company that I previously used stopped doing residential repairs. After many calls to other companies with no luck at all, I finally happened upon Macho Contracting. Alfredo Zapata returned my call within an hour and had the problem diagnosed and fixed the same day. His professionalism and expertise was a welcome change!
