Septic basics for Dennison homeowners

Most septic trouble starts with a tank that went too long between pumpings or a drain field that gets more water than it can absorb. A regular pumping schedule, a working outlet filter and a few household habits prevent most of it. Only toilet paper should be flushed. Fix running toilets and leaky faucets quickly, since a steady trickle adds up to a lot of water in the drain field.

When to call a septic company

Call when drains slow down throughout the house, pipes gurgle, sewage smells appear indoors or in the yard, or the ground over the tank or drain field turns soggy or unusually green. A backup in the lowest drain in the house needs attention the same day. If you are buying or selling a home in Dennison, schedule an inspection early so there is time to act on what it finds.

Questions Dennison homeowners should ask first

Before hiring in Dennison, ask three things. Are you licensed and insured for septic work in Tuscarawas County? Will you inspect the baffles and filter when you pump? Can you show me what you found? Clear answers tell you more than a low quote does.

New construction and septic in Dennison

Building on a lot without sewer near Dennison starts with a soil evaluation and a permit from Tuscarawas County. The soil test decides what kind of system the lot can support and how large the drain field must be. Some lots need a mound or another engineered system. Get this done before finalizing house plans.

Local conditions in Dennison

Among the mapped soils within about two miles of central Dennison, the USDA soil survey rates 96% as very limited for septic absorption fields, 4% as somewhat limited and 0% as not limited. The most common drainage class is well drained. Soils like these often call for careful system design, such as a larger drain field, a mound or another engineered system, and a site evaluation before any new installation or replacement.

Dennison averages about 38 inches of precipitation a year, and June is usually the wettest month. Average temperatures stay below freezing for about 3 months a year, with January averaging 27°F, so tank lids and shallow lines benefit from a layer of snow or mulch rather than being cleared bare.
