TerraTek can install new OWTS septic systems for you.
new septic system installation
Any new septic installation first requires the designer to perform a site and soil analysis. TerraTek will perform the excavation of test pits, design work, and procure a permit-to-construct from LPCPH.
The size of the system is largely based on the number of bedrooms for that household, since that indicates how many people may be using the system, and soil conditions. Installation times vary depending on the site prep required, i.e.: tree clearing, soil composition, slope of site, amount and size of rocks, etc.
The main components of the system are the tank itself and a drain field. The tank has an inlet that is supplied from the house drain, and an outlet that goes to the drain field. The area above the tank and drain field should be clear of trees to avoid complications from root intrusions, and should not be in an area where there is any vehicular activity.
The process of constructing a new system includes:
- Excavate test pits for the design Engineer
- Clearing trees and rocks from project site
- Excavating for, leveling, and positioning the tank
- Excavating and grade the drain field
- Plumbing the various components
- Completing rough in inspection
- Backfilling the tank and field
- Final connection to the house plumbing
- Final grading and re-seed the work area
- Complete final inspection
