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.
Verification of the ordinances applying to a construction of this kind should be the first thing to do before installation begins. Authorities usually demand a certain length of the drainage line that will be coming out of the system. This usually depends on the soil surrounding the area in which the septic is to be constructed. When the soil is capable of absorbing more waste, the required length is less. A soil sample will be forwarded to authorities for the length to be determined.
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 one has acquired a permit, it is time to go and buy a septic tank. The tank can either be plastic or concrete. The plastic one is easier to transport and install as compared to the one made of concrete. The concrete ones are also more expensive and strenuous to install, but they are more durable and hard. There are retailers who offer installation cranes either at a fee or an after sales service offer. However, this is a crucial area and should first be discussed before the product is purchased.
There are various methods which one can use in digging the holes back at the construction site. One can either use a ditch witch or a backhoe, and one can also dig by hand. Renting digging equipment is optional. However, it is the most recommended method when it comes to time and cost of hiring laborers.
Many contractors choose hiring machinery to dig up the area. This saves on time and labor as well. Since the floor of the hole where the septic will be laid needs to be even, it is difficult to do this by the use of hands.
The last steps are quite easy and straightforward once the previous phases are done. Once the bottom floor is perfectly leveled, rocks or other materials used in building can be placed. They normally help in keeping the weight of the tank equally distributed. After lowering the tank in place, both lines of drainage are set and secured. Once the glue has dried and the holes which are remaining filled, the installation process is complete.
