Burns Septic is based in Kingsville, so Johnson County, MO is home turf: we install, replace and repair septic systems from Warrensburg to Holden, starting with a $650 soil morphology test. Johnson County lets a licensed installer certify that a system was built to standard instead of waiting on an onsite inspection.
Permits & Inspections
How a Septic Job Works in Johnson County
Johnson County Community Health Services issues septic permits for new systems and modifications. Here's how its Code of Health Regulations lays out a job:
Soil morphology evaluation
The permit application needs a soil morphology evaluation from a certified soil scientist for the area where the field or lagoon will go. Our soil morphology test is $650.
Permit application
The county reviews the application and approves or denies it within 14 business days. Parcels for a new system generally need at least 3 acres unless the county approves a smaller lot.
Install
We build the system to the approved permit.
Inspection or installer certification
The county inspects a share of jobs. For the rest, a licensed installer can certify on the county's form that the system meets the standard and backfill without an onsite inspection.
