Sizing the Septic System
Choosing the right size for your septic tank and drain field is a critical step in the installation process. The size is determined based on the number of bedrooms in your home, which directly correlates with the potential occupancy and wastewater production. In South Carolina, regulations stipulate specific dimensions to ensure efficiency and prevent overloading.
For a conventional septic system, a 1,000-gallon tank is standard for a three-bedroom house. However, for larger households, the size will increase accordingly. The drain field size is also calculated based on the expected daily wastewater usage, ensuring it has enough capacity to handle the effluent.
Septic System Components Installation
#1. Septic Tank The septic tank is the first component of the system, responsible for receiving all the wastewater from your home. Here, solids settle at the bottom, and oils float to the top, with the liquid effluent flowing out to the drain field. Ivey Septic Services ensures that the tank is properly sealed and positioned to prevent leaks and ensure longevity.
#2. Distribution Box The distribution box plays a crucial role in evenly distributing the effluent from the septic tank to the drain field. It ensures a balanced flow, preventing overload on any particular area of the drain field, which could lead to system failure.
#3. Drain Field Also known as the leach field, this component is where the final treatment of the effluent occurs. The liquid is dispersed through a series of pipes into the soil, where bacteria and other microorganisms treat the wastewater. Ivey Septic Services ensures proper installation and grading of the drain field to facilitate efficient wastewater treatment.
#4. Septic Risers Septic risers bring the access points of your septic tank to the surface, allowing for easier inspections and pumping. They are an essential component of modern septic systems, and our team ensures they are securely installed and accessible.
#5. Septic Cleanouts These are access points within your drainage system, allowing for easy maintenance and cleaning. Septic cleanouts are crucial for preventing clogs and ensuring the longevity of your septic system.
Conventional vs. Aerobic Septic Systems
When deciding between a conventional and an aerobic septic system, various factors come into play, including the size of your property, soil type, and proximity to water bodies.
- Conventional Septic Systems
- When to Use: Ideal for larger properties with well-draining soil, conventional septic systems are a cost-effective and reliable solution.
- Components: Includes a septic tank, distribution box, and drain field.
- Functionality: Relies on gravity to move effluent from the tank to the drain field, where it undergoes natural treatment.
- Aerobic Septic Systems
- When to Use: Perfect for smaller properties, areas with poor soil conditions, or proximity to water bodies, aerobic systems offer advanced treatment options.
- Components: In addition to the standard septic tank, distribution box, and drain field, aerobic systems include an aeration chamber and sometimes a disinfection unit.
- Functionality: Uses oxygen to promote bacterial growth, resulting in a more efficient breakdown of waste. The treated effluent is then discharged to a spray field or other specialized treatment area.
