If you’ve never lived in a home that requires a septic tank, it can be challenging to make the adjustment. Even with experience with septic systems, you may feel a little apprehensive about the prospect of a new septic installation.
The experienced Quality Septic Inc. team is here to help you know what to expect from the process of having a new septic tank and system installed on your property.
This simple overview of how septic installation works will make you feel more prepared and in control when it’s time to have the work done.
Installing a septic system
It may seem like a complicated project, but a septic installation is relatively straightforward in most cases – at least it is for a crew that understands the process inside and out.
There are four primary steps involved in a quality installation.
1. Preparation
Before septic installation itself can begin, it’s necessary to prepare your property. The team begins by surveying your property to determine the best location for the tank and to identify any obstructions that may impede excavation equipment. Preparation also involves taking care of necessary permits and ensuring that everything is up to code.
2. Excavation
The next step in septic installation is excavation. For this work, earthmovers dig the holes for your septic tank, drain field and other components. During excavation, proper grading of the surrounding area prevents flooding.
3. Installation
After the holes have been dug, it’s time to install the septic tank, the drain field’s network of pipes and everything else that a reliable septic system requires. With more than 25 years of experience in septic tank installations, the work is done correctly on the first attempt.
4. Backfill
Now that the tank, drain field and piping have been put into place, the final step is to cover your new septic system with the dirt removed and make your yard smooth and seamless once again. Access points will also be marked for easy location during future maintenance needs.
New, reliable septic
Quite a bit goes into a septic system install. Fortunately, when the job is done correctly, your involvement will be minor. Once your system is up and running, your main responsibility is to make sure your tank and the overall system receives the necessary maintenance and whatever periodic repairs might be needed.
Annual septic pumping is suggested for most residential customers. A simple service agreement is also recommended to ensure your septic system receives the cleaning and maintenance needed to prevent backups and other problems down the line.
