New Septic System Installation

New Septic System Installation in Spartanburg

Building on a lot with no public sewer means an onsite wastewater treatment system, and Ifallsdailyjournal designs and installs the whole thing. We start with a percolation test and a soil profile, size the tank from the bedroom count, and lay out a drainfield the Spartanburg County health department will permit. A typical three bedroom home lands on a 1,000 to 1,250 gallon tank feeding a gravity trench field, though poor soil or a high water table can call for a chamber system or an engineered mound.

Why Sizing From the Soil Matters

• The perc rate sets the field. How fast water drains decides how many square feet of drainfield the effluent needs to disperse without surfacing.
• The water table sets the type. Four feet of separation to the seasonal high water table is required, so a wet lot may need a mound instead of a conventional field.
• The bedroom count sets the tank. Tank gallons follow bedrooms, not square footage, which keeps the system matched to real household flow.

Our Process

We run the perc test, pull the county permit, and stake the layout to clear the well and property line setbacks. Then we set the watertight tank, plumb the inlet and outlet baffles, add an effluent filter, split flow through a level distribution box, and build the trenches or chambers over washed gravel and filter fabric. Risers and gasketed lids come up near grade, and the system is inspected before backfill.
