Installing a septic tank is usually a project which highly depends on labor. When it comes to septic installation, many home owners opt seeking professional help which is not required in most cases. There are a number of steps which one has to follow systematically during this process. The steps are not difficult especially if one has the digging equipment necessary for accomplishing the task.
The most important construction procedure is that of digging up the ground and achieving a leveled base at the bottom. But before starting to dig up the area, one is supposed to have a permit. The permit is usually granted by the local authority. There are various laws that govern this process and are supposed to be adhered to before the permit is granted. These laws do differ across countries and one is advised to seek information from the offices of local authority.
Before embarking on the installation process, the first step should be verification of ordinances that apply to such kind of construction. Almost all municipalities will demand various lengths of the drainage field which is coming from the septic tank. This will highly depend on the ability of the surrounding soil to absorb the waste. A sample of the surrounding soil is usually required by the authority before issuing of a permit.
The requirements on who should forward the soil sample are different across many jurisdictions. There are some which require the person to bring the sample and others who send government officials. Which the method is used in handing over the samples, the process should be carried out in advance. This usually helps in curbing constraints which may pop-up during construction. Failure to obtain the permit in time can negatively affect the process.
After you have cleared with the authorities, the next step to take is that of visiting the retailer. These tanks come as either plastic or concrete. The choice here will also determine the ease and cost of lowering the septic in place. Some of retailers usually offer cranes when it comes to lowering the concrete tanks. However, this should be discussed in detail before purchasing the product.
Back at the site of construction, one may employ various methods during digging of the holes. One can use a backhoe, one can also use hand, and one may also use the ditch witch. It is completely optional when it comes to deciding on whether to rent digging equipment.
For the septic to operate properly, these areas need to be completely leveled. This is why most contractors rent the equipment. Digging all the required areas is essential before returning the equipment.
Different materials may be used in base reinforcement after leveling is done. The drainage lines are placed and fixed to the tank using special glues. Installation is considered complete after the glue used in fixing the lines has dried.
