A pretreatment system is a simple way to reduce the number of solids and bacteria that your septic tank filters out of your waste water. The device is mounted inside a specially designed septic tank that is built to accommodate the pretreatment system. Once it is installed, your plumbing will work just as well as it would with a traditional septic system, but without a higher risk of contaminants and bacteria reaching your soil.

Why You Should Consider a New Pretreatment System

At Northland Septic Maintenance in Backus, MN, their experts will help determine which option is best for your property, whether you opt for a traditional septic tank or install a pretreatment system. Though all septic varieties treat and remove contaminants from your water, pretreatment systems work a bit differently and can be installed on properties that would have otherwise been deemed unsuitable for septic waste treatment.

Most septic systems require a deep absorption trench to filter out contaminants and hazards before sending water into the rest of the leach field. While many homes can accommodate standard trenches, areas with high water tables make installing a traditional system impractical. Without enough soil, the contaminants from the septic tank will leach into the groundwater, impacting your water supply and potentially causing health issues for you and your family. Pretreatment tanks reduce this risk, keeping you and your family healthier and happier.
