What is a septic Tank?

A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment system used in areas without access to centralized sewer systems. It consists of a large, watertight container made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic, buried underground, and receives wastewater from residential or commercial properties.



What is the purpose for a septic system?

The primary purpose of a septic system is to treat and dispose of household wastewater in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Septic systems break down organic matter, separate solids from liquids, and release treated effluent into the soil through a drain field.


Where are septic tanks installed?

Septic tanks are commonly installed in rural and suburban areas where municipal sewage systems are not available or practical. They are typically installed on residential properties, including single-family homes, vacation cabins, and mobile homes.

how Septic tanks work

Wastewater Collection

Wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and laundry drains flows into the septic tank through underground pipes.

Separation

Inside the septic tank, solids settle to the bottom, forming a layer of sludge, while oils and grease float to the top, creating a scum layer.

Treatment

Bacteria present in the tank break down organic matter in the wastewater, partially treating it before it moves to the next stage.

Effluent Discharge

The clarified liquid effluent in the middle layer of the tank flows out of the tank and into the drain field through perforated pipes.

Soil Filtration

In the drain field, effluent is dispersed into the soil, where further treatment occurs as it percolates through the soil layers, removing pathogens and pollutants before reaching the groundwater.

Our septic design and installation process

Our team takes great pride in providing solid septic installation for our customers, and it all begins with a careful process. Proper design and installation of septic tank systems are essential to ensure efficient and effective wastewater treatment while protecting public health and the environment. You can trust our qualified professionals to adhere to local regulations throughout the process.

Site Assessment

A site assessment is first conducted to determine soil conditions, groundwater levels, property size, and building placement to ensure proper placement of the septic system.

Permitting & Regulations

We obtain all necessary permits to comply with local regulations and zoning ordinances governing septic system installation.

Tank Sizing

We'll determine the appropriate size and type of septic tank based on the number of bedrooms, water usage, soil type, and local regulations.

Tank Placement

We help select an appropriate location for the septic tank, considering factors such as setback requirements, accessibility for maintenance, and distance from wells and water sources.

Excavation & Installation

Our team excavates the site to the required depth, installs the septic tank, and connects it to the building's plumbing system using watertight pipes.

Drain Field Design

We've partnered with licensed engineers to assist in the designing the drain field layout.  They'll determine soil infiltration rates, slope, and available space.

Final Inspection

After installation, the septic system undergoes a final inspection to ensure compliance with building codes and regulations before backfilling and covering the tank.

Working smarter and not harder!

We've made gravel distribution much easier by engineering our very own "Gravel Trench Box."  Designed and built by RVA Site Services, this sled-like mechanism efficiently disperses gravel along foundation footings as its being pulled by an excavator.  Our bulldozers quickly dump the gravel on top, then the sled is pulled! Drastically reducing the amount of time needed to lay rocks evenly in the trenches!
