Having a new septic system installed provides a number of benefits to property owners, from environmental benefits to access to cleaner water. However, there’s a lot that goes into designing the system and getting it up and running. Here’s a quick explanation of what septic installation entails so you can be better prepared for the process.

What Is Involved in the Design & Septic Installation Process?

Design the System

Before digging up the land and putting the system in place, it takes some careful planning and design work to lay out where everything should go. You need to have the land surveyed and consider where any underground utilities are placed so you can avoid them. A professional can also find the best place to place the tank and pump system so it can support the water use and plumbing for your home.

Excavate the Land

Once the plans are laid out, the septic installation company will bring in digging equipment to excavate the area where the tank, pump, and pipes will be placed. You’ll also need to have permits secured and follow all local codes and regulations for digging and adding new pieces of equipment around the home.

Install the Tank & Accessories

You also need to consider the exact pieces you want to include in the system, from the type of tank to the pump. There are several different types of tanks and systems, from gravity and pressure distribution systems to aerobic treatment units. You can work with your septic professional to find the equipment that works best for your property.
