Things to Consider Before Installing a Septic System in Ithaca, NY

What to know before you invest in your home’s largest utility.

Installing a new septic system is a big investment that requires careful consideration. Whether your current system has gone bad or you are prepping for a new build, today we’re sharing three crucial factors to keep in mind before breaking ground for your home’s new waste water system.

ONE:  Site Evaluation: The Foundation of a Reliable Septic System

Before diving into the
septic system installation
process, it’s essential to conduct a thorough site evaluation. This evaluation includes assessing the soil composition, topography, and the proximity of the water table. Clean Earth Septic Services can help with this crucial step, leveraging our expertise to determine the most suitable location for the septic system on your property.

The soil’s ability to absorb and treat wastewater, known as percolation or perc testing, is a critical component of the site evaluation. Our team conducts comprehensive perc tests to ensure that the chosen location can support a septic system effectively. By prioritizing site suitability, you can avoid future issues such as system failure, contamination, or environmental harm.

After the perc test we will recommend what kind of septic system is best for your home or business based on your soil type and the property layout. In the Twin tiers region, the most common types of septic systems are conventional septic systems, elevated sand mound systems, or chamber systems. To learn more about the
