A septic installation will improve the quality of your home life in many ways. If you’re having a septic tank installed in your yard, you need to perform some tasks before construction starts. Here are a few tips for how to prepare your property for this project. 

How to Get Ready for Septic Installation

1. Clear the Way

Before workers begin the septic installation, clear a path to give them easy access to the location and ample room to operate. Make sure your yard is clear of items such as outdoor furniture and children’s toys. If landscaping is over the area where the tank will be going, remove it according to the septic installation crew’s instructions. 

2. Stock Up On Water

While your septic tank is being installed and hooked up, there may be a period when you aren’t able to use the plumbing. During this time, it’s important to have everything you need on hand to cook, clean, and use the restroom. Stock up on water bottles for drinking and cooking, and think about renting a portable toilet to use during construction. 

3. Talk With Your Neighbors 

Ask the septic installation contractor about the placement timeline. Afterward, let your neighbors know about the details of the project, such as how long it’s expected to last. Explain that they may hear construction noise and notice large equipment moving through the neighborhood.
