What's A Septic System?
A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment solution designed for homes not connected to public sewer systems. It typically includes a buried septic tank where solids settle, and a drain field (or leach field) that further treats and absorbs the remaining liquid into the soil. In essence, it’s an on-site method that uses natural processes to manage and purify wastewater from plumbing fixtures like toilets, sinks, and showers before safely releasing it back into the environment.

Wastewater from the septic tank flows into perforated pipes laid in a trench, which are then covered with gravel. The gravel acts as a filter and allows the wastewater to slowly seep into the surrounding soil.

Concrete septic tanks are highly durable and resistant to damage, making them ideal for withstanding harsh environmental conditions. However, their heavy weight makes installation more labor-intensive and often necessitates the use of specialized equipment for transportation, which can lead to higher installation costs.
Plastic septic tanks are lightweight and simple to install compared to concrete tanks. They resist water damage and corrosion from acidic soil more effectively, and their flexibility makes them less likely to crack, offering a durable and reliable alternative to concrete.
