Cave Creek, AZ
SewerTime Septic & Drain is headquartered in Cave Creek — not a national chain dispatching from somewhere else when something goes wrong on your property. Our depot at 4815 E Carefree Hwy #108 is the only septic depot inside the Cave Creek town limits, which means most calls dispatch within 30 minutes and same-hour response is routine Monday through Saturday.
Cave Creek's rural character — large acreage lots, hillside builds, desert wash terrain — means almost every property outside the small downtown core is on a private septic system. We service Tatum Ranch, Desert Hills, Desert Mountain estates, Hidden Hills, the Cave Creek wash corridor, and the North Scottsdale border properties along Carefree Highway and Pima Road. The soil here is unique: decomposed granite over caliche layers, with rocky inclusions that make conventional drain fields fail faster than systems in central Phoenix.
All septic work in Cave Creek goes through Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD). New installs, tank replacements, drain field repairs, and ADEQ Type 4 alternative systems all require a permit pulled by a licensed contractor. SewerTime handles the full permit package — perc test, system design, county filing, inspection coordination — under ROC #333406. Our techs are NAWT-certified, and we're the local crew Cave Creek realtors and builders call when something needs to get done right the first time.
Licensed, insured, and bonded. Call our Cave Creek depot directly at (480) 900-8820.

Tatum Ranch, Desert Hills, Desert Mountain, Hidden Hills, the Cave Creek wash corridor, North Scottsdale border properties, and the rural acreage out toward New River and Carefree. Most Cave Creek homes outside the small downtown core are on septic — we know the soil and access patterns of every neighborhood.
Yes. Cave Creek is fully within Maricopa County, so any septic replacement, drain field repair, or new install requires a permit from Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD). We pull permits under ROC #333406 and handle perc tests, design submittal, and inspection coordination so you don't have to learn the permit process to fix your own house. See our design & permits page for more.
Cave Creek soil is a mix of decomposed granite, shallow caliche, and rocky desert wash material — none of which absorb effluent as cleanly as the sandier soils in central Phoenix. Combined with larger rural lot use and 30+ year systems still in service on many older properties, drain fields here often need rejuvenation or replacement sooner than systems south of Carefree Highway.
$400 for tanks up to 1,250 gallons (the most common Cave Creek residential size); $500 for 1,500-gal; $700 for 2,000-gal; $900 for 3,000-gal. Larger acreage homes and Desert Mountain estates often have 2,000–3,000 gal tanks. Buried lids or restricted access add $100. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Yes. On hillside Tatum Ranch lots, Desert Mountain estates with restricted setbacks, or any property where conventional gravity systems won't pass percolation testing, we design and install ADEQ Type 4 aerobic treatment systems and handle the required annual service contract. We also serve nearby Anthem and the North Scottsdale area.
