What You Need to Know About Septic Systems and New Home Construction

New Home Digest 



Septic systems play a crucial role in new home construction, efficiently managing wastewater in areas without municipal sewage systems. Here’s what you need to know to ensure a smooth septic system installation for your new home.

  1. Understanding Septic Systems: Septic systems consist of a septic tank and a drainfield. Wastewater from your home flows into the tank and the liquid portion is released into the drainfield.
  2. Site Evaluation: Before installing a septic system, a thorough site evaluation is necessary. Soil quality, groundwater levels, and local regulations are vital in determining the system’s size and design.

  4. Choosing Septic System Cleaners: Opt for environmentally friendly septic system cleaners. These products can help break down waste and prevent blockages without harming the beneficial bacteria in the tank.
  5. Landscaping Considerations: Be cautious when landscaping around your septic system. Avoid planting deep-rooted trees or shrubs near the drainfield to prevent root intrusion.
  6. Responsible Disposal: Only flush human waste and toilet paper down the drain. Avoid flushing down non-biodegradable items or even harsh chemicals.
  7. Upgrades and Repairs: Over time, you may need to upgrade or repair your septic system. Consult a professional if you experience issues, such as slow drains or foul odors.
