Gravity septic systems don’t need electricity or complex pumps; instead, the waste flows to a lower point for treatment and storage.
Gravity septic systems are among the most common types used on residential properties. This setup is simpler than other options, relying heavily on gravity to move wastewater through the system. However, the function of a gravity-fed system depends on the topography and layout of the property. Whenever possible, our team at Clark Septic installs gravity septic systems because they are efficient and cost-effective. We bring years of experience in the septic industry, and we can determine what type of system is the right option for your residential or commercial property in the Orlando, Florida area.
When you think about how a septic system works, it’s likely that the images conjured in your mind are of a gravity-fed setup. Gravity septic systems don’t need electricity or complex pumps; instead, the waste flows to a lower point for treatment and storage. When this type of system is installed on a property, the cost is typically lower than one that does require more complex equipment. And with the proper care and maintenance, a gravity-fed system can last for many years.
If the soil conditions and natural slope are suitable for allowing wastewater to flow downward without needing extra assistance, this type of setup works well. But despite gravity septic systems being simpler in design, they still require ongoing maintenance. Regular pumping of the tank is a must to avoid backups and other issues. Our technicians can handle a range of services related to this type of septic system. Contact us if you need assistance.
