Solution from Almco Plumbing
Proper septic tank installation by Almco Plumbing involves careful site engineering, deep excavation, and strict adherence to environmental regulations. Our process includes the following key steps:
- The project involved a complete overhaul of the septic system. First, we excavated the area around the original structure to decommission the damaged unit and prepare underground channels for a new sewer connection.
- The next day, an excavator arrived to relocate the septic system to a higher-elevation section of the property with far superior soil percolation rates. A significant aspect of the project was the installation of a new 1250-gallon septic tank, followed by careful trench backfilling and soil compaction.
- The critical part of the project was the installation of a brand-new leach field system that spanned several hundred feet across the backyard. Utilizing perforated piping and engineered gravel bedding, this extensive leach field ensures proper wastewater percolation and efficient septic system functionality without risk of surface pooling.
Conclusion
Sergio and his team not only replaced the failing septic system but also designed a new and improved septic and leach field system engineered specifically for the terrain in Lakeside, ensuring it will serve the property effectively for years to come. This case exemplifies Almco Plumbing’s commitment to solving complex septic system issues and delivering top-notch results for satisfied clients.
