Before Installation
Septic systems rely on permeable soil surrounding the tank to absorb and naturally treat liquid residue, preventing contamination of runoff water and the water table. This area, known as the drain or leach field, is essential for proper system function. Before installing a septic tank, you’re legally required to obtain a percolation or “perc” test, which ensures the soil meets city and local health department requirements. Typically, the soil must contain adequate amounts of permeable materials like sand or gravel. Once the land passes the percolation test, you can obtain a permit and begin the installation process. As a Certified Roth Septic Tank Installer, Sam’s Backhoe & Septic Repairs ensures every step is done right, from soil testing to final installation.
Excavation and Site Prep
Heavy equipment is needed to excavate the large amount of land necessary for a septic tank, drainfield and/or sandmound system. If you currently reside on the land, make sure to budget landscaping costs to fix any damage incurred during excavation. If you’re building a new home, schedule the excavation at a time when it’ll have minimal impact on the construction process. Typically, this is before paving the driveways and sidewalks, but after the main frame of the home is built.
When you have your perc test and your land has been prepped, you’ll need to decide what type of septic system is best for your home or business/property. We can provide guidance to make sure your new system will be the right size and the right type for your needs. There are various systems you can go with, depending on the condition of your soil. Your perc test will offer insight as to what type of system you’ll require.
