Septic System Design in Dover, NH
If your location does not have access to municipal water or sewer systems, you will need to find a reliable water source and a septic system to handle your waste. We are experts in groundwater location and septic system design at Atlantic Survey Co. We've earned a reputation for locating groundwater efficiently and cost-effectively.
However, many people are unaware that we also have extensive experience and understanding in the field of septic systems. With our septic system design services, you may consider every aspect of wastewater disposal. A percolation test determines the absorption and permeability rates at your location. To be considered environmentally safe, the soil must be able to absorb water at a particular pace. Low soil permeability might cause a septic tank to overflow during a storm. A rainy weather groundwater test assures that your septic system won't fail in the event of heavy rain.
There are a variety of systems to choose from based on your demands, soil conditions, and space constraints. A septic tank and a drain field make up a traditional system. It's best for single-family homes with adequate space for a drain field far enough away from the well and existing groundwater. A mound system has a septic tank, a pump tank, and a sand mound if you have shallow soil depth, bedrock, or high groundwater. The sewage is injected into the mound, which filters into the soil. There are numerous others, like chambers, drip distribution, aerobic treatment, and recirculating sand systems.
