Mound septic systems designed for challenging soil conditions.
Mound septic systems offer a reliable solution for properties where the soil depth or drainage conditions aren’t suitable for conventional systems. When a traditional drain field isn’t an option, a mound system can still provide effective wastewater treatment by elevating the absorption area above the natural grade. This type of setup helps protect groundwater and ensures treated water filters through soil layers safely.
Designing the mound septic systems begins with an in-depth site evaluation. We conduct soil tests to understand how quickly water moves through your land and how close the water table is to the surface. These details help us determine how tall the mound needs to be and which materials to use. Our design takes into account not only technical requirements but also the unique conditions of your property in Grantville, Pennsylvania.
During construction, we follow a specific layering process using sand, gravel, and soil. Each layer must be placed carefully to ensure the system works as intended. The piping within the mound is also installed with precision to evenly distribute effluent. By focusing on details like slope, compaction, and erosion protection, we create a structure that remains stable and functions reliably over time.
Once the system is in place, we guide you on how to properly care for it. Mound septic systems require ongoing maintenance, including routine inspections and occasional pump servicing. Our team explains how to keep the system working efficiently and what to expect in terms of performance.
