About Platinum

Platinum is a multi-trade contractor based in Shelbyville, Kentucky, the seat of Shelby County and a community where horse farms, rural homesteads, and newer subdivisions all coexist. That mix of property types means septic systems vary widely, from old conventional tanks serving farmhouses to newer engineered systems on tighter residential lots. Platinum brings together excavation, masonry, and septic services under one roof, which is a practical advantage when a project involves more than just pumping a tank.

Services & Process

Platinum handles septic system installation and repair, which often starts with excavation work to access or replace buried components. Their masonry and concrete capabilities mean they can handle tank repairs, lid replacements, or the construction of access risers that make future maintenance easier. Drain field issues, which sometimes require grading and soil work, benefit from having excavation and septic expertise on the same crew. This combination reduces the back-and-forth of coordinating multiple contractors for a single project.

Service Area

Platinum serves Shelbyville and the surrounding Shelby County area in central Kentucky. Nearby communities including Simpsonville, Bagdad, and Waddy are within their service reach. Rural properties throughout the county, many of which rely entirely on private septic systems, make up a significant portion of their customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Platinum handle both the excavation and the septic installation as one project?
Yes, that's one of the practical advantages of working with a multi-trade contractor. Having excavation and septic services under the same company means the project flows more smoothly without coordinating separate crews or waiting on scheduling gaps between contractors.
What is involved in a new septic system installation in Shelby County?
A new installation typically requires a site evaluation and soil percolation test to determine the right system type, followed by permits through the local health department. Then excavation begins, the tank is set, distribution lines are laid, and the drain field is constructed before the site is backfilled and graded.
Do I need a permit to replace or repair a septic system in Kentucky?
Yes, most septic system work in Kentucky requires a permit issued through the local county health department. Permitted work ensures the installation meets state standards, which also matters if you plan to sell the property later.
What does the masonry and concrete work involve in a septic project?
Concrete work on a septic project might include repairing cracked tank walls, installing a new concrete lid, or building a riser to bring the access point flush with the ground surface. These improvements make future inspections and pump-outs much easier and can extend the life of the system.
How do I know if my drain field is failing on my Shelby County property?
Standing water or soggy soil over the drain field area is one of the clearest signs, especially if it persists after dry weather. Sewage odors outdoors or slow drainage inside the home that isn't resolved by pumping the tank can also indicate the drain field has been compromised.
Can a failed drain field be repaired, or does it always need full replacement?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Some drain fields can be restored through aeration, rest periods, or targeted repairs to distribution lines. Others are too saturated or clogged to recover and need to be replaced, which involves excavation and installation of new lateral lines.
