Get A Soil Test
Soil plays a large role in every septic system. Drain fields use surrounding soil to filter and purify the wastewater. As such, testing for soil quality is a standard part of the installation process. Understanding the condition of the soil beforehand allows ample time to make necessary adjustments.
Clear the Area
Clear out the general location where your future septic system will be installed and the path leading to that location. Remove debris, furniture, and other objects to make the region easily accessible for the technicians.
Let Your Neighbors Know
A septic system installation involves large equipment and vehicles that will occupy a significant part of the road depending on the layout of the property. Also, the machinery involved will be loud. Your neighbors will appreciate your gesture of informing them about the planned project.
Stock Up on Drinking Water
Your property’s water will be turned off during the installation process and possibly until shortly after the work is complete. Stock up on drinking water to use for drinking, cleaning, and cooking. Set aside more than you think you need.
Arrange Toilet and Shower Plans
With the water turned off, the toilet and shower will be unavailable. Consider renting a portable toilet to place on the property. Coordinate with friends, family, or neighbors for a place to shower and perhaps even stay some nights.
