Septic Drain Field Installation

Is your property one of the one-fifth of American homes that rely on septic systems for black and gray water disposal? Ask Mr. Rooter Plumbing about septic drain field installation today. We are the team to call for all your septic tank and drain field installation needs.

What Is a Septic Drain Field?

A drain field consists of perforated pipes connected to your septic tank. Wastewater flows through your septic tank’s chambers, separating solids and liquids. The liquids, also known as effluent, flow into your drain field (or leach field). The small holes in your drain field pipes let the effluent seep into the soil, be naturally filtered, and reenter the groundwater.

What’s Involved in Septic Drain Field Installation?

Septic drain field installation can involve a phone call to experts you can trust – Mr. Rooter Plumbing! We are available to take your call 24/7.

Your chosen service professional will dig trenches deep enough on your property for gravel to be laid. They will then lay pipes on the gravel before another layer of gravel is placed over the top, followed by fabric to stop the soil from moving down into the pipes and gravel. Most trenches for septic drain fields are at least six inches below the soil surface.

Septic System Types We Install

Septic tank install costs aren’t all homeowners want to be informed of. They also want to know the most appropriate septic system types for their unique properties.

Here at Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we are dedicated to installing septic tank systems that will suit homeowners’ needs now and into the future. Inquire about our preferred septic system types below, including aerobic septic systems, waterless systems, chamber septic systems, and more.

Aerobic Septic Systems

We recommend aerobic treatment systems for single homes or small groups of homes with homeowners who wish to produce high-quality wastewater to be distributed over a small drain field. This system uses more air and oxygen in its sewage treatment process compared to other system types.

Conventional Septic System

Conventional septic systems are traditional, standard septic systems. They feature a drain field with gravel or stone to filter liquid waste. It’s an ideal septic system solution for residential properties and small businesses.

Drip Distribution System

Your chosen service professional may recommend a drip distribution system for your property. This septic system involves releasing pre-treated wastewater in small amounts. Tubing for this system is installed 6-12 inches underground and requires a large dosage tank and electricity.

Raised Bed System

Your chosen service professional may recommend a raised bed septic system if your property has a high water table. It’s an alternative system that’s partially built above ground with a mound of dirt to stop the septic system from harming the water table.

Waterless System

Waterless systems are described as one of the most eco-friendly septic systems on the market. A dry septic or waterless system functions similarly to a compost bin. You drop waste into a collection bin below or outside your house and compost or incinerate it.

Residential Septic System Services FAQs

When most residential septic systems are out of sight and out of mind, it’s only natural for the average homeowner not to be well-informed about their maintenance, service, repairs, and installation.

Do you have questions about installing a septic tank, the cost of septic tank installation, or general queries about maintenance and repairs? Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing today. We’ve also covered some of our more commonly asked questions about residential septic system services below:

1. How Does a Septic System Work?

Traditional or conventional septic systems consist of a septic tank and drain field. These two components work together to take care of your waste. A septic tank holds wastewater until the solids settle at the bottom. The liquids exit the septic tank and make their way into the drain field.

Once in the drain field, they filter through the soil, where harmful viruses, nutrients, and coliform bacteria are removed.

2. What is the Cost of Septic Tank Installation?

How much to install a septic tank is a natural question to ask when you’re parting with your hard-earned money. The costs associated with installation can depend on unique property factors, such as whether you’re replacing an old septic tank or installing an entire septic system.

Most septic tanks can range from $3,000 to $10,000. You can often expect to pay $20,000 or more if you have a specialized system. Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing today to request an estimate.

3. How Much Does it Cost to Pump a Septic Tank?

Are you curious about septic tank pumping prices? How much it costs to pump a septic tank can depend on its size, where you live, how frequently you request a septic tank pump out, and your tank’s usage. The average cost is around $400, but expect to pay as much as $600 in some areas.

4. How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Pumped?

When a septic tank sits out of sight and out of mind, it’s easy to forget about that all-important pumping. However, frequent pumping can be crucial for your septic tank’s longevity. Aim to request this important service from septic tank pumping services providers at least every three to five years. Maintaining a regular pumping schedule may prevent a buildup of solids that may lead to premature system failure.

5. What Is the Cost to Repair a Septic System?

The cost to repair a septic system can vary depending on the problem and the parts that may need to be replaced. A simple septic tank repair may be as little as $650. However, major repairs may be as much as $6,500.

Some products, such as filters and lids, are inexpensive to replace, whereas other components, such as lines and pipes, can cost several thousand dollars. Are you looking for an estimate? Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for septic system repair estimates today.

6. Do You Need a Permit to Repair a Septic System?

Permitting requirements can vary from state to state. However, permits are typically required for septic system repairs to ensure all repairs are carried out to the required state standards. Permits also enable governing bodies to learn why the septic system failed and what repairs are needed.

7. What’s Involved in Septic Tank Drain Field Maintenance?

Septic maintenance services are wide-ranging. Drain field maintenance can require ensuring the system is functioning correctly. Your chosen service professional may also remove debris and vegetation and repair or replace damaged pipes.

8. How to Pump a Septic Tank?

Pumping a septic tank is a job best left to the professionals. Septic tank pump out experts will typically pump the solid waste out of your septic tank through two large access ports.

9. How to Install a Septic Drain Field

Installing a septic drain field is a multi-step process that often requires the installation of an entire septic system. Trained and licensed service professionals obtain all necessary permits before creating leach field trenches, digging and placing your septic tank pit, and installing the most appropriate septic system for your property and needs.

10. How to Choose a Septic Drain Field Service Provider

Choosing a septic drain field service provider is not a decision to make lightly. After all, every homeowner wants a high-quality septic system they can trust to function at its best.

When shopping around for septic tank installation companies, ask about their years of experience, history, credentials, and qualifications. Choosing licensed and insured service professionals who take pride in their work is also important.
