How to Prepare for Your Septic Tank Installation

  1. Understand your property: One of the first steps in preparing for your septic tank installation involves gaining a complete understanding of your land. This can be accomplished by knowing whether there might be any bedrock or otherwise beneath the surface or whether there might need to be any land clearing or grading involved before your tank is installed. You will also want to obtain a county drawing from the local health department.
  1. Know the tank you will need: You will also want to do the necessary research to determine what size septic tank you will need for your septic tank installation. This can be determined based on your household, the size of your home, and the anticipated wastewater volume.
