What factors need to be considered when designing a septic system?
Upon deciding to install a septic system, there are many factors to consider when planning the design. From local septic tank installation and maintenance regulations, to landscaping logistics, there are crucial factors that need to be considered to ensure a safe, effective, and long lasting septic system. Here are a few of the factors Patnode Brothers Septic and Excavation helps you consider when planning a septic system design -
Septic System Design Factors
Size of your septic tank.
When considering your septic system design, it's important to consider the size of the actual septic tank and the needs your family or business will have. Septic tanks that are too small won't be able to handle waste and can quickly overflow, while septic tanks that are too big can take up a considerable amount of space and require more maintenance.
Placement and positioning of your septic system.
During the septic system design process, it's also important to consider where you'll put your septic system. It's important to put it somewhere where it can be easily accessible for pumping and maintenance. You also need to consider that no outbuildings, such as sheds or decks can be built over the septic tank.
Soil type and percolation rate of your property.
Your soils composition and percolation rate are critical pieces of planning for a septic system design as they impact the septic systems ability to absorb and treat wastewater. Soil tests are typically recommended to ensure the appropriate design and planning is done.
Groundwater level of your property.
Consider the groundwater level when designing a septic system. The depth of the groundwater table impacts drain field placement to prevent contamination and ensure proper wastewater treatment. Assessing groundwater levels ensures regulatory compliance and protects water sources, vital for designing an effective and environmentally responsible septic system.
The slope and topography of your property.
The slope and topography of land influence septic system design by impacting wastewater drainage and flow. Proper consideration of these factors guides the placement and design of septic components, ensuring optimal functionality and preventing issues such as soil erosion or system backup.
What are the different septic system designs available?
Depending on your needs, there are many different types of septic systems designs to tailor to your soil condition. Patnode Brothers Septic and Excavation is here to help you find the best septic system design for your home or business.
Gravity Septic System
A gravity septic system uses natural gravity to move wastewater from the house to the septic tank and then to the drain field for treatment. It's a simple and cost-effective design suitable for properties with sufficient slope for proper wastewater flow.
Sand Filter Septic System
A sand filter septic system includes a sand-filled bed that filters and treats wastewater before it enters the drain field. This design is effective for properties with poor soil drainage or high water tables, providing enhanced treatment and reducing environmental impact.
Pressure Distribution Septic System
In a pressure distribution septic system, a pump evenly distributes wastewater throughout the drain field. This design is ideal for properties with challenging topography or soil conditions, ensuring uniform treatment and preventing overloading of any specific area.
Mound Septic System
A mound septic system involves building an elevated mound of sand or gravel above the natural soil to treat wastewater. It's suitable for properties with shallow bedrock, high water tables, or inadequate soil depth, providing sufficient treatment and ensuring regulatory compliance.
