How we install your septic system

01 Obtain permits & perform soil tests

Before installing a septic system, you will need to obtain any necessary permits from your local government and perform soil tests to determine the soil's ability to absorb wastewater.

02 Excavate the site

Once you have obtained the necessary permits and completed soil tests, the site is excavated where the septic system will be installed. This involves removing any trees, rocks, or other obstacles from the area.

03 Install the tank

The first component installed is the tank. This involves digging a hole for the tank and placing it in the hole. The tank must be level and secure before proceeding.

04 Install the drain field

Once the tank is in place, the drain field is installed. This involves laying perforated pipes in a bed of gravel or installing drain field chambers. The pipes or chambers are positioned so that they allow wastewater to drain into the soil.

05 Connect the pipes

Pipes are connected from the house to the septic tank and from the septic tank to the drain field. All pipes are properly secured and sealed to prevent leaks.

06 Backfill the site

Once all components of the septic system are installed, the site is backfilled. The area around the tank and drain field is filled in with soil.

07 Test the system

Once the septic system is installed, it's tested to make sure it's working properly. This involves filling the tank with water and monitoring the drain field to make sure wastewater is being absorbed properly. For a pressure dosed system, a squirt test may be required.
