What Is the Process for Installing a Septic System?

At Woodhaven Excavating and Lot Clearing, we make the septic system installation process as seamless as possible. Here’s an overview of the steps involved to ensure a proper installation.
Site Assessment and Design
The first step in installing a new septic system is conducting a thorough site assessment. Woodhaven Excavating and Lot Clearing starts by evaluating the layout of your property, including soil quality, land slope, and the distance to water sources or existing structures. This assessment helps us determine the ideal location for your septic tank and drain field to ensure efficient system performance.
Once the site is evaluated, we design a customized septic system plan tailored to your property’s specific needs. This design will include the size and type of tank required, as well as the appropriate drain field layout for optimal wastewater filtration. We also handle all necessary permits, ensuring the installation is compliant with local regulations and environmental standards.
Excavation, Installation, and Testing
Once the design is approved, the next step is excavation. Woodhaven Excavating and Lot Clearing uses heavy machinery to dig trenches for the septic tank and drain field. Our team ensures that the excavation is done with precision to avoid damaging any other utilities or structures on your property. After excavation, we install the septic tank, connecting it to the plumbing system of your home or building. We then install the drain field, which allows treated wastewater to be safely filtered into the soil.
Once everything is in place, the system undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it is functioning properly. Finally, we cover the system with soil and restore the area, leaving your property in excellent condition. Woodhaven Excavating and Lot Clearing ensures that your new septic system is installed efficiently and correctly, providing a long-term, reliable solution for your wastewater management needs.
