If you are building a new home or business, you will need to figure out how to handle septic waste. Building a new structure in a city or town is relatively easy in this regard, as you can simply connect your plumbing to the municipal sewer system. However, if you are building in a rural area, then you will most likely need to use a private septic tank. Our team at Dewey’s Septic and Grading has extensive experience in septic tank installation and maintenance, and you can count on us to take care of this part of your build and upkeep. In this article, we will provide an overview of the septic tank installation process so you know what to expect.
- Preparation – Before our team can start on the main septic tank installation process itself, we will need to prepare. First, we will evaluate the site to determine the best place for the septic tank to go, and then we will design the rest of the system. Once the design is complete, we will need to secure the necessary permits for the installation.
- Excavation – Once we have the plans and permits ready, our team will move on to the main septic tank installation process. We will start by excavating the area, digging a hole where the tank and other parts of the system will be installed.
- Installation – The next step in septic tank installation is the placement of the tank and drain field pipes. Our team will move these components into position, connect all the pieces, and then cover everything over with dirt.
