A new septic tank installation requires careful preparation. Whether you are installing a septic system for a new home construction or you just need to replace an old tank, it’s important to ensure industry excellence and regulation compliance every step of the way. At Clark Septic, we bring our expertise to make sure every installation is a success.
Here’s the septic tank installation checklist we follow each and every time:
- Site Assessment – From evaluating soil conditions to measuring groundwater levels to planning the ideal location for the tank, we conduct a thorough site assessment to get an accurate lay of the land.
- Necessary Permits – Depending on the requirements of the local municipality and homeowners associations, we make sure we have all the legal documentation we need to proceed.
- Tank Selection – Septic tanks come in a variety of sizes, materials, and designs to suit unique needs. Local regulations may dictate the size or type of the tank, as will the size of the home as well as the soil conditions. We make sure we select the right tank for your needs.
- Preparing the Site – After we’ve carefully evaluated the property and chosen the right tank, installation can begin. We note any utility lines to be mindful of and will decommission and remove an old tank according to industry best practices, which may mean cutting off the water supply for a few days.
- New Septic Tank Installation – Finally, we can place and connect the new septic tank. If we are installing or replacing the entire system, the drain field will be another major part of the installation. But for new tanks alone, connecting, testing, and inspecting the new tank are the final steps of the process.
