For properties not connected to a city sewage line, a septic system is essential for the health, safety, and convenience of everyone in your home or cabin. When it’s time to install a new system, or replace an existing system, there are some key factors a technician will consider. 

Considerations to Bear in Mind When Installing a Septic System

1. Size

Traditional septic systems require a fair amount of space. If you have limited room on your property, there may be alternative options to accommodate the system. The size of your septic system is determined by not only your soil type, but also the number of bedrooms in your home or cabin. Enlist the help of Wade Rufsholm Septic Systems to get the most efficient and current unit for your site and the needs of your family. Wade will take care of soil testing, system design, and the installation. 

2. Position

The placement of your septic system is an important component of installation. Factors such as structures, wells, lot lines, water sources, elevation, and soil quality will affect the placement of your septic system. Always work closely with with Wade Rufsholm to ensure you are getting the best possible septic system for the health of your family and the protection of your property.

3. Maintenance

Septic tanks requires some upkeep, so be aware of the specific maintenance requirements of the tank. During the harsh Wisconsin winters, you don't want to have to perform septic maintenance work. Make sure you take care of maintenance before winter begins. Outside of normal care — such as keeping traffic off your septic system, including your drain field —only dispose of typical household waste.
