Lateral Line Experts

The layout of a septic tank and leach field begins with careful site planning. The septic tank is typically positioned close to the building it serves, while the leach field, or drain field, is situated downhill from the tank to utilize gravity flow. The leach field must be large enough to handle the wastewater volume, with trenches or beds spaced adequately to prevent overlapping absorption areas.

Excavation Process for Septic Tank Installation and Maintenance

Excavation involves digging the septic tank hole according to the tank’s dimensions, ensuring it’s level and set at the proper depth. The leach field trenches are then excavated, usually 18 to 36 inches deep, with a slight slope to facilitate the even distribution of effluent. Proper backfilling around the tank and trenches, along with the placement of gravel or sand in the leach field, ensures stability and functionality. The final step is to cover the system with soil and restore the site to its original grade, ensuring the system is both functional and discreet.

Leach Field Permits

To meet county code when installing a septic tank or digging a leach field, a series of steps must be followed. First, soil testing is required to determine the soil’s absorption rate, ensuring it can adequately filter wastewater. A percolation test (or “perc test”) is often performed. The site must then be surveyed to ensure proper placement away from water sources and structures. Design plans must be submitted to and approved by the county.

Post-Installation Inspections and Compliance
with Local Regulations

After installation, inspections by the local health department are typically required to ensure the system meets all regulations and functions correctly. We also maintain compliance with all of the counties surrounding Springfield. Some countries have stricter rules than others, and we are well-versed in meeting these expectations.
