Septic Install Puyallup and Tacoma

Septic Site Preparation

Before excavation can begin, the site needs to be prepared. This involves obtaining any necessary permits and obtaining detailed information about the site’s soil and topography. A septic system design must be created, taking into account factors such as the size of the home, the number of people in the household, and the soil type. The excavation plan must also take into account the location of any trees, driveways, and other structures on the property.

Septic Excavation Process

Once the site has been prepared, excavation can begin. The first step is to locate and mark the boundaries of the drain field and septic tank. Then, heavy equipment is used to dig a hole in the ground that will accommodate the septic tank. The tank is then lowered into the hole and leveled. Next, the drain field trenches are dug. The depth of the trenches will depend on the soil type and the water table in the area. In general, trenches are dug between two and four feet deep.

Installation of the Septic System

After the excavation is complete, the septic system can be installed. This involves connecting the septic tank to the drain field and adding any necessary pipes and fittings. Once the system is installed, it must be tested to ensure that it is functioning correctly. This typically involves adding water to the system and observing how it drains into the drain field.

Backfilling and Compacting

Once the septic system has been installed and tested, the excavation site is backfilled and compacted. This involves filling in the trenches and the hole where the septic tank was placed. The soil is compacted to ensure that it is stable and will not shift over time. The site is then graded to ensure that water drains away from the septic system.

Conclusion

Excavation is a critical step in the installation of a septic system. It involves preparing the site, digging the hole for the septic tank, and installing the drain field. It’s important to work with a licensed and experienced septic system installer to ensure that the excavation is done correctly and that the septic system is installed properly. With proper installation and maintenance, a septic system can last for many years, providing safe and reliable waste management for your home.
