Replacement Septic Needs
Septic Installation Process:
Once it is determined that you need a septic system installed/ replaced, the the first step is to have a qualified engineer design a system for you.
As part of that process a site survey and soil testing will be done.
first...
Site survey findings that influence the design include things like:
-
available space on the property
-
topography of Property
-
intended purpose and perceived water use based on the size of dwelling/building the system will service
-
location of wells and neighboring wells
Soil test findings that influence the design include things like:
-
soil type and layering (sand, clay, rock, and where it is located relative to depth)
-
ability of the soil to drain and filter wastewater
Installation Steps:
#1 Excavation
#2 Sand
The typical septic system installation or replacement begins with an excavation of the area of the disposal field or seepage pit.
Sand is then placed into the excavated area in order to create a filter in the disposal field.
#3 Bed Piping
Stone
&
#4 Distribution Box
Piping and stone are then placed over the sand.
The piping is perforated and allows wastewater
to drain into the field. The stone acts as an additional filter.
A distribution box is then connected to the piping. This box is connected to your septic tank and allows equal distribution of the waste water into the bed.
#5 Install Tank
#6 Covered Tank
A septic tank is then connected to the distribution box and to the outlet from your house.
All waste and water drains from your house into the tank.
Waste water drains from your tank and eventually out into the field. Solid waste accumulates in the tank. Build up of the solid waste is why pumping is required.​
The bed is then covered with dirt and the area is the graded and covered with seed, straw & hay.​
#7 Other Systems
Some septic system designs require the use of a second tank which contains a pump. Other designs may require a "technological" tank which functions as a mini treatment plant and delivers cleaner water to the disposal field.
