- You can’t manage your water consumption or flow with an old system.
- The tank of your current septic system is damaged or cracked.
- You cannot pass an inspection if your tank or drain field fails to filter wastewater.
No matter the reason why you need to install a new system, it is important that the job be done correctly. Our team will manage the installation, from site preparation to placing your tank and connecting your piping and plumbing components.
Before Installing a Septic Systems
The permeable soil around the tank is what allows septic systems to naturally absorb and treat liquid residue. This ensures that the liquid doesn’t leak or contaminate the runoff water. The drain field or leach field is the area in question. You are legally required to conduct a “perc” or percolation test before installing a septic system. This test confirms that the soil meets the requirements of the local and city health departments. The soil must have enough permeable materials, such as sand and gravel. You can start installing the system once the soil passes the percolation tests.
You must first pass the percolation tests before you can install a septic system on your land. It is recommended that you order a test prior to purchasing land for residential use.
Site Preparation + Excavation
To excavate a large area of land for a septic system, drain field or sand mounds, heavy equipment is required. Budget landscaping costs for any damage that may occur during excavation if you already live on the property. When building a home, plan the excavation to occur at a time that will have the least impact on construction. This is usually done after the home’s main frame is constructed, but before the driveways or sidewalks are paved.
After you have completed your perc tests and prepared your land, you will need to choose the best septic system for your property or home. Our team will provide you with guidance so that your new system is the correct size and type for your requirements. Depending on your soil’s condition, you have a variety of options. The results of your perc test can help you determine the type of system that’s right for you.
- Concrete –Concrete septic tanks are durable, rustproof, and easy to repair.
- Plastic –Plastic tanks can be cost-effective but are prone to damage.
- Fiberglass–Fiberglass septic tanks are stronger than their plastic counterpart but can be shifted or displaced if the water table rises too high.
