Understanding Septic Systems
1
Septic Tanks
Septic tanks are underground containers
that collect and partially treat household
wastewater before it flows into a
drainage field.
2
Drainage Fields
The drainage field, or leach field, is a
series of perforated pipes that allow the
treated wastewater to slowly seep into
the soil.
3
Biological Processes
Septic systems rely on natural biological processes to break down and filter contaminants before
the water re-enters the groundwater.
Site Evaluation and Preparation
Soil Conditions
Assessing the soil type,
percolation rate, and slope of the
land is crucial to ensure proper
drainage and system function.
Site Accessibility
The installation location must be
easily accessible for maintenance
and servicing, while also adhering
to local regulations.
Utilities Mapping
Carefully mapping underground
utilities, such as water lines and
electrical cables, is essential to
avoid damage during the
installation.
Septic Tank Selection and Sizing
Tank Material
Septic tanks are commonly made of concrete,
fiberglass, or polyethylene, each with its own
advantages.
Tank Capacity
The tank size should be selected based on the
number of bedrooms in the home and local
regulations to ensure proper wastewater
treatment.
Inlet and Outlet Baffles
Baffles help to prevent the discharge of solid waste
and maintain the proper flow of wastewater
through the system.
Access Risers
Risers provide easy access to the septic tank for
inspection and maintenance.
Septic Tank Installation Process
1
Excavation
The site is excavated to create a level, stable base for the septic tank installation.
2
Tank Placement
The septic tank is carefully lowered into the excavated hole and positioned according to
specifications.
3
Connections
The tank's inlet and outlet pipes are connected to the home's plumbing and the
drainage field.
Leach Field Design and Installation
Leach Field Layout
The drainage field is designed with a network of perforated pipes to disperse the treated
wastewater into the soil.
Soil Preparation
The soil in the leach field is carefully graded and prepared to ensure proper drainage and
absorption.
Pipe Placement
The perforated pipes are installed at the appropriate depth and spacing to evenly
distribute the wastewater.
Septic System Maintenance and Inspection
Pumping
Regular pumping of the
septic tank is essential to
remove accumulated
sludge and scum.
Inspections
Annual inspections can
identify any issues or
needed repairs to keep
the system functioning
properly.
Water Conservation
Reducing water usage
helps to prevent
overloading the septic
system and ensures its
longevity.
Record Keeping
Maintaining detailed
records of maintenance
and repairs can help with
future system
management.
Conclusion and Resources
Properly installing and maintaining a septic system is crucial for homeowners to
ensure long-term functionality and environmental sustainability. By following the
steps outlined in this presentation, you can ensure your septic system operates
efficiently and safely.
