Septic Tank Installation

Whether you're installing a septic system in a new home or replacing an existing septic tank, it is a costly and potentially stressful job. This article deals with the process of installing a conventional gravity-powered septic system. If you are considering an alternative system, the process will vary.

Installing a septic tank is not a task to undertake lightly. There are regulatory issues that must be addressed, you'll often have to get a permit from your local town, and there are plumbing and environmental issues to consider. You'll want to work closely with a septic company -- if you haven't chosen one, now is a good time to choose a septic contractor.
