Certified Septic Installation​​
Types of Septic Systems
Norweco and Jetbat treatment plants: These advanced septic systems utilize aerobic treatment processes that break down waste and improve the quality of the treated water.
At-grade fields: These are below-ground septic systems in which the effluent is distributed at ground level. They are suitable for areas with shallow soils and high water tables.
In-ground field systems: This conventional disposal method uses underground pipes and trenches to filter wastewater effluent effectively.
Mounds: These septic systems are built on a bed of sand or gravel and deal with effluent in areas with poor soil absorption and shallow rock layers.
Holding tanks: These are specialized tanks designed to temporarily store wastewater before it is pumped out; this type of septic system is suitable for a building or properties where other septic options are not permitted.
Septic System Installation Process
Designing and installing a septic system must revolve around a few key factors:
Soil tests: Test the soil to check how well it drains. This involves digging test pits and conducting percolation tests to assess soil layers, texture, permeability, and the water table depth. Analyzing the soil is crucial as it informs the type and size of the septic system needed.
Selecting the type of septic system: Considering the data, soil type, slope degree, and available space, the appropriate type of septic system is selected.
Consider the size of the septic field: This process includes estimating lot size, identifying soil type, and securing legal clearances for the septic system design while also assessing available space and considering setbacks to meet local regulations.
Plan the pipes: The last step is planning the placement of pipes, depending on the type and size chosen. This includes determining the suitable manner of dispersing wastewater from the septic tank to the drain field or the treatment unit.
Address limiting conditions: The feasibility of the design has to be considered based on conditions such as bedrock, high water table, impermeable soil layers, etc. Any or all of these factors may hinder the system's efficiency, and these problems can be solved only through methods such as elevated mound systems or advanced treatment units.
