OUR PROCESS
8 Steps for Installing and Connecting Septic Systems in Kentucky
1. Site Evaluation
The process begins with a thorough site evaluation, which includes soil testing to assess soil type, drainage capabilities, and groundwater levels. This information is crucial for determining the appropriate type and size of the septic system. Additionally, obtaining necessary permits from local health departments ensures compliance with local regulations.
2. System Design
Based on the site evaluation, the right septic system design is selected. Common options in Kentucky include conventional systems (concrete or plastic tanks) or alternative systems for challenging soil conditions. The system is sized according to the number of bedrooms in the home to ensure adequate wastewater capacity.
3. Excavation
Once permits are secured, excavation begins. A trench is dug for the septic tank and drain field, following the design specifications. Proper excavation is essential for the successful installation of the system.
4. Tank Placement
The septic tank is carefully lowered into the trench, ensuring proper alignment and level. This step is crucial for the efficient operation of the septic system.
5. Connecting the System
The inlet pipe from the home’s plumbing is connected to the septic tank, while the outlet pipe leads to the drain field. The drain field is prepared with perforated pipes laid in gravel trenches, allowing treated wastewater to disperse and be filtered by the soil.
6. Backfilling
After all connections are made, the excavated areas are backfilled with soil. This step ensures that the tank and pipes are adequately covered for protection and support.
7. System Testing
An inspection by local health department officials may occur to verify that the installation meets safety and regulatory standards. The system is then tested to check for leaks and confirm proper wastewater flow from the home to the septic tank and drain field.
8. Ongoing Maintenance
Homeowners receive guidance on maintaining their septic system, including recommendations for regular inspections and pumping every 3 to 5 years. This ongoing maintenance is essential for ensuring the system’s longevity and efficiency.
