Three Tips To Help You Prepare For Your Septic Tank Installation

If you're a homeowner who relies on a septic system, it's likely that you haven't updated your unit in quite some time. Given the fact that septic tanks generally last for many years, this is a home upgrade you don't have to make often. If it's now time for you to upgrade your tank, here are some helpful tips that can keep you on track.

Inquire About Environmental Regulations

If the tank is several years old, chances are, the environmental requirements for septic systems have changed drastically. Although you may have been grandfathered in with your existing tank, once you install a new tank, you will be required to adhere to these guidelines.

For instance, there are often restrictions as to the number of gallons of treated sewage that can be released from the tank within a specific period. The name of the agency that is in charge of these regulations for your state or county may vary; however, simply looking on the government's website for the environmental regulations department will generally lead you in the right direction.

Double-Check Permit Requirements

When you are engaging in a massive project like a septic tank installation, staying on schedule is important. Even though you have a team of professional installers completing the project for you, this type of installation can cause a significant disturbance for your home, as well as your neighbors. If you are forgetting to double-check your local permitting requirements, you probably won't stay on schedule.

If your permits for the project are not correct, the entire project will likely need to be halted. Depending on the installer that you pair it with, this might be a part of the process they cover. However, if it is not, make sure you are reviewing this matter.

Make Arrangements

This might seem like a trivial tip, but it is imperative that you make arrangements for your family. It doesn't matter if you have double-checked your permitting requirements and hired the fastest and most efficient installation company in the area – your plumbing is going to have to be off for some period.

In fact, it's not unheard of for your plumbing to be out of commission for a few days. Rather than realizing this once you need to take a shower, it's best to plan for this inconvenience ahead of time. It might be a good idea to ask a close friend or family member if you can stay with them until the installation is complete.

The more you prepare, the better your septic tank installation experience. Make sure you're doing your part and hiring a qualified installation company for the best results.
