Preparing Your Property for Septic Tank Installation

Remove the Old Septic System

Chances are that you already have a septic system and it is time for a replacement. Needless to say, the first step is the removal of the old system including the septic tank, pipes, and others. This is a process that we strictly suggest be left to the experts.

Get Necessary Permits

Regulation of septic systems vary from state to state and even city to city. Consult with your city, county, or state government to learn about the restrictions and requirements. Luckily, your trusted professionals at Septic Connection are helpful on this matter.

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.

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.
