A septic tank is a major investment in your home’s wastewater system, and proper preparation can help ensure a smooth installation. We want our customers to feel confident and prepared before the process begins. Here are four important steps to take before your septic tank installation.
- Schedule a Site Evaluation – Before installation, a professional evaluation of your property is essential. Soil conditions, water table levels, and available space all determine the best location for your septic system. After a site evaluation, our team can design a system that meets both local regulations and your household’s needs.
- Clear the Installation Area – Septic tank installation requires heavy equipment and a clear space to work. Be sure to remove vehicles, outdoor furniture, or large obstacles in the designated area. Clearing the space ensures the installation team can access the site safely and efficiently.
- Understand Local Permits and Regulations – Installing a septic tank requires permits and compliance with local health departments. Partnering with a professional installation team ensures that all permits are secured and that your installation meets local codes, preventing costly delays or compliance issues later.
- Plan for Minimal Water Use During Installation – Since your wastewater system will be out of service during the installation process, plan to limit water usage in your home. This might include doing laundry ahead of time, using less water in sinks and showers, or making temporary arrangements for bathroom use.
