Are you looking to replace your current septic tank? Do you have a new property on which a septic system needs to be installed? In either case, you should rely on a professional septic contractor to do the work. Installation is not a “DIY” project that you can accomplish over a weekend with a guidebook and a few tools.
Quality Septic Inc. of Plant City, FL, has been providing septic tank replacements and new tank installations for more than 25 years in our area of Florida. Here are some things you’ll want to know about professional septic tank installation before you get started.
Knowledge and experience count
Our septic services crew – and all qualified crews, wherever you may live – have extensive knowledge about septic tank design, drain field design, lift station pumps and all the components that make up a modern septic system. This is not common knowledge for the average homeowner.
A trained, certified septic installer is the only wise choice for a project as large and potentially complex as a septic tank installation.
Local codes and laws
No matter what city or town you live in, there are likely at least a few building codes and zoning ordinances that apply to septic tank installation. A professional contractor will know all the laws, rules, and codes that your area requires for a septic system project.
If specific permits or licensing are necessary, your contractor will be able to get this documentation for you. This will ensure that you don’t have to have your septic system moved after it was improperly placed. It also prevents you from getting fined by your city in the event that everything isn’t up to code.
