If you’re a new property owner and not familiar with septic systems, there are a few basics you should know about septic tank installation.
First, it’s essential to work with an experienced team to ensure the installation is completed correctly. Next, the information offered below is also useful to know:
- Understanding the System: Septic systems are utilized in areas lacking centralized sewage facilities. Essentially, it is an underground wastewater treatment system. The septic tank is a waterproof container that holds and processes household wastewater.
- Site Assessment: A comprehensive site assessment is necessary before septic tank installation. This involves analyzing the soil to find out how well it absorbs nutrients and looking for bedrock or water tables near the surface.
- Selecting the Appropriate Tank: There are several sizes and materials for septic tanks. The decision is based on the anticipated wastewater volume and the size of the home. Our team will explore your options and provide you with the pros and cons of each so that you can make an educated decision.
- Installation and Excavation: There are multiple steps in the septic tank installation process, including excavation, tank placement, piping, backfilling, and more. An experienced team can tackle each of these tasks with ease.
- Installation of Drain Fields: An essential part of every septic system is the drain field. The wastewater naturally purifies the effluent as it seeps into the soil in the drain field, where it flows from the tank. The durability and efficiency of the system depend on the proper size and location of the drain field.
- Continued Maintenance: After septic tank installation, the system will require routine maintenance to remain in good operating order. This includes services like pumping to get rid of sludge and other contaminants and routine inspections to ensure everything is working as it should.
