Though often out of sight and out of mind for most homeowners, your septic tank is a critical component of an effective septic system. It contains and processes all wastewater from the home before it moves to the drain field.

Signs Choosing the Right Septic Tank.
Whether installing a new tank or replacing an old one, it’s important to choose the right septic tank for your system. Undersized tanks can overflow with excess waste. Improperly sized tanks also lead to numerous other issues, including malfunctions, backups into the home, groundwater contamination, costly repairs, and complete system failure.
Having a septic tank properly sized and designed for your home’s needs is critical for optimal performance. During our initial site-evaluation, our installers will evaluate numerous factors to determine the best tank for your home and septic system:
Household Size & Usage – The number of people in your household and their daily water usage habits significantly impact the size and capacity requirements of your septic tank. Larger households with more water usage may need a larger tank.
Soil Composition – The type of soil on your property affects the drainage capability of the septic system. Different soils have varying levels of permeability, influencing the design and functionality of the septic tank and drainfield.
Local Regulations & Codes – Compliance with local building codes and regulations is crucial. Regulations may dictate the type, size, and location of the septic system. It’s essential to obtain the necessary permits and follow guidelines to avoid potential legal issues.
Groundwater Level – The distance between the groundwater level and the bottom of the drainfield is crucial. High groundwater levels can hinder proper drainage, potentially leading to system failure. Site assessments help determine if the groundwater level is within acceptable limits.
Topography of the Land – The slope and shape of the land influence the installation and efficiency of the septic system. Proper site evaluation considers factors such as elevation changes, hills, and proximity to water bodies.
Maintenance Requirements – Different septic systems have varying maintenance needs. Consider the level of maintenance needed to operate your septic system. Some systems require more frequent pumping or inspections than others.
Type of Septic System – There are various types of septic systems, such as conventional gravity systems, aerobic treatment units, and advanced treatment systems. The choice depends on factors like soil conditions, available space, and local regulations.
Future Expansion Needs – Anticipating future changes, such as an increase in household size or additional construction on the property, is important. Choose a septic system that allows for potential expansion or modifications.
Environmental Impact – Consider the environmental impact of the septic system. Some systems are designed to minimize ecological effects, using advanced treatment methods to ensure that effluent doesn’t harm the surrounding environment.
