Septic System Design
A good septic system is key for effective wastewater treatment, protecting the environment, and ensuring lasting reliability. At Onsite Solutions, we create custom septic designs that follow your local regulations and fit your property's specific needs.
What Goes Into Septic System Design?
Septic system design is more than just placing a tank and drain field—it’s a carefully planned process that considers multiple factors to ensure proper function and longevity. Here’s what goes into it:
1. Site Evaluation
Before designing a septic system, a thorough site evaluation is conducted to assess:
✔ Soil composition & percolation rates – Determines how well the soil absorbs and filters wastewater.
✔ Topography & drainage – Identifies slopes, water tables, and flood risks.
✔ Space availability – Ensures proper placement of the septic tank and drain field.
2. Soil Testing
Soil testing is a crucial part of septic design, as different soil types affect the system's performance.
3. System Type Selection
Based on site conditions, different septic system types may be used, such as:
🔹 In-ground Septic Systems – Ideal for properties with well-draining soil.
🔹 Mound Systems – Used when soil conditions require a raised drain field.
🔹 Pressure Distribution Systems – Ensures even wastewater dispersal in challenging terrains.
4. Regulatory Compliance
Every septic system must comply with local and state regulations. Our team ensures your system meets all compliance requirements, setback distances, and environmental standards. We guarantee that all final designs meet permit requirements*.
Why Proper Septic Design Matters
