Soil Testing

Soil testing is the first step in the septic tank installation procedure. The purpose of the inspection is to ascertain the precise water waste system requirements for your home. The technician will test the soil to assess how well it drains based on this knowledge. By doing this, you can avoid having an uncomfortable sewage pond in your backyard due to your soil's impermeable nature. This data is utilized to create an extensive plan that establishes the needs of the tank. Once the plan is in place, excavation can begin.

Excavation Of A Septic Tank

The contractor will closely adhere to the detailed strategy for your scenario as the excavation operation gets under way. Gravity is primarily responsible for moving the flow from the home to the tank, which determines depths. Historically, laws called for a two percent slope from the home to the tank. Regulations also call for the tank to be covered with a minimum of six inches of dirt. Later on, the drain field trenches will be dug out.
