Septic System Need to Fit You

Septic System Technology has dramatically improved over the years.  Demands that families and comercial operations place on septic systems can vary widely.  A septic system needs to fit your lifestyle and needs.  The minimum standards have changed to reflect advances in both characteristics of soil and technology of treatment systems.  If you are building a home or business or your septic tank or system has reached its limits and you require a new septic system, contact us.  We’ll guide you through the process of designing an effective system that will work, to installed and operating under legal permit and maintained by Environmental Health Specialties

Site & Soil Evaluation & Design

Before an OSSF can be designed, the property must be properly evaluated for soil characteristics and boundaries.  The soil characterization considers such components as classification, texture, structure, restrictive horizons, groundwater and flood hazard.  The boundaries of a property are determined by more than the actual property lines.  There are limititions to development presented by neighboring property, easements and rights of way, bodies of water, public and private water wells, pools, gardens, and structures.  A proper design must consider all of these factors, but should also include the property occupants’ actual needs.  Minimum standards are established, but there are occasions where minimum standards are not adequate to serve the user.  This will lead to disappointment.  There is never a good time for that.  Environmental Health Specialties strives to provide the best system to fit the actual needs and expectations of the owner and user.  This is critical to protection of our environment and your happiness.  You expect it to work for many years to come.

We don’t believe in “one price or one size fits all”, because we know that your satisfaction depends upon the septic system working.  It should receive and effectively treat typical household wastewater, removing solids and pathogens from the effluent water, and safely disperse the treated effluent into the environment without nuisances of foul odor, ponding, or runoff and eliminate potential health hazards presented by pathogenic organisms that are commonly found in human wastes.  Call us for a free phone consultation now (281) 428-2648.
