Plumber’s Guide To Installing Septic Tanks

• The first thing to do is make sure that you have enough space for the type of system that you want. You need to assess the size of the area along with the topography to make sure it is achievable.
• The tank needs to be at least 7m away from your property, as well as not being too close to any large trees due to the sprawling roots under the ground.
• The hole in which the tank goes will need to be approximately 2.25m deep and 1.85m wide.
• Once the hole is sufficiently dug, the next stage is to lower the septic tank into it, making sure that it is level. 
• To stabilise it, you then need to backfill it with a large amount of something like pea gravel.
• The final stage is to connect the tank system to your wider home system, and once you have established that the connection is in good working order with no problems, you are free to enjoy the rest of your day!
