When it comes to your residential septic system design, you have more options than you might think.
Modern septic systems today can be designed to fit every home, property, and budget just right. To learn more, you can always talk to a local septic design expert about the best options for your home.
Here are a couple of tips to help you get started:
1. Protecting the environment
In a rural area, you want your septic design to be as environmentally friendly as possible. To make that happen, it’s important to start with a soil test, or percolation test. The percolation test will tell you if it’s safe to install a leach field on your property without risking groundwater pollution.
If your soil percolates (drains) too quickly, you might want to consider a more eco-friendly alternative, like a Sand Mound or Aerobic Septic System.
2. Quality vs. Affordability
The first thing your septic system engineer should ask you about is your budget. Some systems will be more expensive than others – but the higher price might pay off in the long run.
For example, a traditional septic tank may be prone to leaks and overflow, while an aerobic tank, which comes at a higher cost, will guarantee years of little to no maintenance.
Talk to a residential septic design expert about balancing your budget with your long-term goals, to make sure you’re getting the best system for your home.
