Frequently Asked Questions

A septic system works by collecting wastewater from your home's plumbing and allowing it to settle in the septic tank. The solids settle to the bottom and are broken down by bacteria. The liquid flows through the outlet pipe and is filtered through the drain field before being absorbed into the soil.

The size of septic tank you need depends on the size of your home and the number of occupants. A general rule of thumb is that a 1,000-gallon tank can support up to 4 people in a 3-bedroom home.

The cost of a septic system installation can vary depending on the size of the property, the soil type, and the type of system being installed. On average, a septic system installation can cost between $5,000 and $10,000.
