B100a Septic Reserve Area Solutions in Connecticut

In Connecticut, when homeowners plan property projects such as building an addition, pool, deck, garage, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU), state regulations require the identification and design of a code-compliant reserve septic area. This ensures that any new construction does not violate setback limits for a future septic system. Most towns mandate this as the first step in the permitting process.

At Anderson’s Septic Service, we manage the entire B100a process, providing a seamless experience for homeowners. Our services include comprehensive soil testing, PERC testing, septic system design, and plan submission to local health departments. If needed, we also coordinate with professional engineers to meet B100a standards.

A B100a assessment is required in Connecticut to ensure there is a designated reserve septic area for future system installation when planning certain home projects, such as additions, pools, or accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

A B100a is required to ensure that any new construction doesn’t encroach on the septic reserve area. It’s the first step in obtaining permits for projects like pools, decks, ADUs, and home additions.

Anderson’s Septic Service handles all aspects of the B100a process, including soil testing, PERC testing, septic system design, and submitting plans to the health department for approval.

In some cases, yes. We will evaluate whether your current septic system can handle the new structure or if a new system is required.

The timeline depends on factors like soil conditions and town approvals. However, Anderson’s Septic Service works efficiently to ensure a smooth and timely process from testing to permit approval.
