How an Onlot (Septic) System FunctionsThere are two basic types of anaerobic (without Oxygen) onlot systems; those with gravity distribution systems and those with pressure distribution systems. In both types, there are three major components:

Sewage flows to the septic tank, where the primary treatment process takes place. In the tank, the heaviest matter settles to the bottom (forming sludge) and the lighter matter (scum) floats on top of a somewhat clear liquid called effluent. While the sludge and scum must be pumped out regularly, the clear liquid flows out of the tank to a distribution box or dosing tank, and is then directed to the absorption area by gravity flow or through pressurized pipes. Within the absorption area, this effluent exits through pipes into a layer of gravel and then percolates through the soil for additional treatment. The bacteria in the soil neutralizes many of the contaminants in the wastewater.

Signs of an onlot system in trouble include:

Preventing MalfunctionsHomeowners can help prevent malfunctions and ensure the long-term use of their onlot system by doing the following:

Conserving Water and Reducing WasteflowOnlot systems not only treat and dispose of domestic sewage from toilets, they also receive wastewater from various other household fixtures, including baths, showers, kitchen sinks, garbage disposals, automatic dishwaters and laundries.

Conserving water and reducing the amount of wasteflow from household activities is an important step to ensuring long-term use. The more water-using devices in a household, the greater the burden is on the onlot system.

Following are some helpful water conservation tips and a comparison of water usage between conventional fixtures versus water-saving fixtures:

Pumping Your Septic TankA septic tank accumulates solids (sludge) and scum which should be pumped out at least every three years. The frequency of pumping depends upon tank size and household size. Larger households generally require more frequent pumpings (every one or two years).

In Pennsylvania, specific tank sizes are generally based on the number of bedrooms in the home because the number of bedrooms is an indicator of household size. For example, a home with three bedrooms must have a 900 gallon or larger septic tank. The more bedrooms, the larger the septic tank.

Your toilet is Not A Trash CanTrillions of living, beneficial bacteria constantly treat and decompose raw sewage in a septic system. The effectiveness of these bacteria can be impaired if harmful substances and chemicals are put into the septic system. Harmful substances/chemicals include:

Remember, what goes into your toilet and drains may eventually end up back in your drinking water. So instead of using caustic toilet bowl cleaners or bleach, try mild detergent or baking soda or one half cup of borax per gallon of water.

Also NEVER flush bulky, hard to decompose items such a sanitary napkins, diapers, paper towels, cigarette filters, plastics, eggshells, bones or coffee grounds down the toilet because they can clog the system.

We proudly offer plumbing, septic and sewer service in the greater Miami Valley area, located in central and southwestern Ohio.

Our coverage areas include Springfield, Beavercreek, Fairborn, London, Yellow Springs, Urbana, Xenia, New Carlisle, and Dayton.

You dont have to dig! We can replace drain and sewer lines without total excavation!

We are one of the few contractors that require minimal digging. Our process will not just line, but will literally install a new HDPE pipe in its place that meets or exceeds code requirements; thus stopping all infiltration of water and roots.

For more information on this process, please read our Pipe Genie page.

When you use our service you save money on the restoration of your driveway and/or lawn and reduce landscaping and/or reconstruction costs.

We can dig a small hole by the street and pull in the new HDPE water line from inside your basement. We use joint-free fittings that are installed with an electro-fusion machine.

This leaves you with a one-piece leak-free water line, saving you money on expensive landscaping and lawn services.

Broken pipes and root intrusion will leave your sewer lines in complete disarray. We will find the specific area of your sewer line that needs repair without digging up your entire yard, limiting the excavation to one specific area. Compared to replacing the entire sewer line, this method saves you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

If youre having problems with root intrusion and/or deteriorating pipes, we can replace your entire sewer line. Sometimes the only way to solve sags or back pitch in a sewer pipe is to dig it up and replace it. We can upgrade your clay or cast iron sewer line to PVC piping to prevent future corrosion and root intrusion.

We can replace your deteriorating old copper or galvanized water lines with proven materials like HDPE pipe and joint-free fittings. As time goes by, old water pipe materials break down and cause leaks that may go unnoticed for months. Update your water pipes and eliminate leakage.

Using the latest technology, we can electronically locate your existing sewer and water lines.

We have the equipment to pinpoint the exact location of your problem area.

We will save time, money and the beauty of your lawn by directing the repair technician to the exact point of the problem. Dont dig around and ruin your yard in the process!

Hydrojetting utilizes high-pressure water to remove contaminants in your main sewer line.

We use this technology to clean and unclog the sewer pipe at your residence, commercial, or industrial building.

The high-pressure water is very effective at clearing any sewer blockage and cleaning the inside of the sewer line at the same time.

We are the definitive experts on installing new sewer and water lines for your new home or building. Our experienced combined with our unmatched customer service and tools give you the best option for all of your water and sewer needs.

No More Septic Odor - Use this Sewer Vent Pipe Filter for ...

Conventional wisdom suggests that when faced with a choice between town sewer and a septic system, the answer is clear: town sewer wins, hands-down.

But is the conventional wisdom right in this case? Is septic sometimes a cheaper, greener choice? A closer look at this question suggests that while the conventional wisdom is clear, it may not be right.

The advantages of town sewer are well-known:

By contrast, the downsides of a septic system are equally clear:

While there is truth in both the advantages and disadvantages, there is misinformation as well. It is certainly true that septic systems require maintenance -- but it may not be true that they are more expensive. And septic has other advantages that this debate traditionally ignores -- it may be "greener", and when you don't want to live in the center of town, it may be your only option.

While most people are aware of the rather significant cost of replacing a broken septic system, few are aware that municipal sewer has its own costs.

For example, according to Bill Gassett, owner of MassRealEstateNews.com and a realtor for RE/MAX Executive Realty in Hopkinton, Mass., homeowners can be assessed huge fees for maintenance and installation of new infrastructure. "In many towns that have sewer as an option, the buyer is asked by the town to pay what is known as a Sewer Betterment fee," he says. "This can be quite expensive. For example, the last phase in my hometown of Hopkinton, the Sewer Betterment fee was $16,000."

In fact, there is no shortage of stories describing these fees and debates by various planning and selectmen's boards as to the best means to handle sewer line improvements, which can be quite costly. The cost can increase quite a bit, too, if a pumping station must also be built. It is also possible for a municipality to place a lien on specific properties until they have paid these fees.

While any home in any neighborhood could potentially be assessed a Sewer Betterment fee, Daniel Friedman, Editor and Publisher of InspectaPedia.com says that homes in low-density areas are at greater risk for higher fees. Installation costs are always high, but fewer homes mean fewer taxpayers to spread the costs.

Even if pipes and a pumping station don't have to be installed and built, there is still a fee to connect a home to the sewer lines or to replace aging pipes. "The expense is actually putting in the line from the street to the home," says Gassett. "This is usually another couple of thousand dollars and then there is also the yearly usage charges for having a sewer connection, which can amount to another $1,000 and, in some cases, $2,000. With a septic system the only expense is a pumping fee, which is generally every couple of years and amounts to a few hundred dollars."

Septic Tank Installation | Hagerstown | Larry & Sons

Typically, construction of a new septic tank system starts at the house by installing a building sewer, then installing a septic tank and, finally, installing whatever wastewater distribution component (i.e. drain field) is necessary for the local codes, site and soil conditions.

A building sewer is part of a house drain system that extends beyond the home and carries waste to its proper disposal whether it is a private onsite system (septic system), public sewer, or other form of treatment. Before it exits the home or structure, it is referred to as the building drain.

The first step is locating where the building drain exits the house and becomes the building sewer. This is done utilizing house plans and visually finding its location within the house. Depending on the construction schedule for the home, a system can be installed prior to the building drain or waste lines. In this case, a consultation with the interior plumber is necessary to confirm the correct system location and that the depth will be beneath the foundation footing.

The pipe choice for waste lines in North America is PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. Usually 4 inch diameter PVC is used, although depending on code requirements, amount of waste water expected per day and flow velocities this can be smaller or larger. In addition to sizing the diameter of pipe, it is important to determine the correct pitch of the pipe for correct gravity flow of waste. Pressurized systems follow different construction guidelines.

Most municipalities and uniform plumbing codes require that a cleanout, or a way to access the building sewer or building drain be within several feet of the exterior wall. This cleanout must be brought above or at grade, whether it is inside or outside the home.

The depth of the building sewer below the surface, or below grade, is also dependent on several factors, such as depth of frost, type of soil, possibility of flooding and what the ground above the building sewer will be used for. Use of insulated pipes and surrounding the building sewer pipes with more permeable and less compactable material can help to keep this part of the septic system more functional if perfect depth and soil type are not available.

Soil type, local codes, presence of rock and stones, the possibility of water flood events and distance to set backs can affect methods of burying the pipe. Unless the soil type is such that it will evenly support the building sewer and prevent any settling or compaction of soil, the soil will have to be tamped down and/or surrounded by material that will not further compact such as one to two inch stone. In northern locations where frost depths extend potentially below the depth of pipe, and when the building sewer travels a distance that could increase the chances that the waste water could freeze, insulated pipe must be used or foam sheathing added.

This information is based on a typical new construction and represents general code requirements and site, soil and climate conditions which can greatly vary.
