Septic Systems: 3 Facts to Learn Before You Install One

1. System Placement

Before you install the system, learn about its layout, function, and placement. One of the most important components is the septic tank. Tanks are often made from concrete or fiberglass, and their purpose is to trap sludge and oil while letting water flow out to leach into the ground. The placement of the tank has an impact on your future landscaping: To avoid damaging it, you’ll want to avoid driving over that space in the yard with cars or other heavy vehicles. Take this into account before the installation.

2. Maintenance

Septic system repairs can be expensive and inconvenient, which is why it’s important to learn about proper maintenance before yours is installed. Varying maintenance levels will affect what sort of system you choose. For example, some advanced types require more frequent septic tank pumping than older ones. Other maintenance aspects will remain the same, regardless: Always watch what you flush down the drain. Vegetable peels can clog any system.

 3. Installers

Just as important as choosing a reliable system, make sure you choose an installation company that has your best interests at heart. Use websites like Yelp to research what past clients say about them. Make sure they focus on customer service, perform commercial or residential work, depending on your needs, and have enough experience to know what they’re doing.
