How Do You Build A Homemade Septic System?

0

Building a homemade septic system can be time consuming but can save a homeowner hundreds of dollars. A properly built septic system can last from 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance. Septic tanks come in many sizes and are made from concrete or plastic. Before beginning, check with your county to see if it allows homeowners to build their own septic system. Check first with local health department and county offices to determine if a homemade septic system is acceptable in your area. Buy any permits needed before beginning work.Follow the local septic system requirements so you won’t have to dig it up and start over again. Determine the best place to put the septic tank and the drain field. Most counties require soil testing to determine the percolation rate (drainage ability) of the soil as well as to tell what the seasonal water tables are for the property. Local county planning boards and health departments will test and approve the best site for the septic system. County health
