Why Septic Field Installation is Crucial

The septic field plays a vital role in your septic system, treating and dispersing wastewater safely back into the environment.

Understanding this, CR Septic Services approaches each installation with precision and care, utilizing the latest techniques and sustainable practices.

Types OF Septic Fields We Install ——

We offer a variety of septic field solutions, different styles accommodate different soil conditions, property sizes, and environmental requirements. Our expertise allows us to recommend and install the perfect septic field for your specific situation.

Conventional System

Conventional septic fields, also known as standard leach fields, are the most common type of septic system. They consist of a series of trenches or a bed lined with gravel or course sand and buried one to three feet below the ground surface. Perforated pipes run through the gravel to distribute wastewater evenly, allowing it to slowly seep into the ground for natural treatment. This system is best suited for properties with sufficient space and soil that has good absorption properties.

Mound System

Mound septic fields are an alternative for properties where conventional systems are not feasible, usually due to shallow soil depth, high groundwater, or poor soil conditions. In a mound system, the septic effluent is pumped to an engineered mound made of specific sand fill material, where it is filtered through the sand layer before reaching the natural soil. The elevated design of the mound system provides additional treatment of wastewater and is particularly useful in sensitive environmental areas.

Aerobic Treatment Systems (ATS)

Aerobic Treatment Systems are advanced septic solutions that treat wastewater using a multi-stage process that includes aeration to encourage the growth of aerobic bacteria. These bacteria are more effective at breaking down organic matter in the wastewater than the anaerobic bacteria found in conventional systems. The treated effluent from an ATS is of a higher quality and can be dispersed more safely into the environment, making ATS systems suitable for properties with limited space, high groundwater, or restrictive soil conditions. They require more maintenance and energy but offer superior wastewater treatment.

Eljen Geotextile Sand Filter (GSF) System

The Eljen Geotextile Sand Filter (GSF) system is an innovative, passive advanced wastewater treatment solution designed for areas with challenging soil conditions, limited space, or environmental protection requirements. It utilizes a series of modular units filled with specific sand media and wrapped in a geotextile fabric. This design promotes oxygen flow and facilitates the growth of aerobic bacteria, enhancing the treatment of effluent by filtration and biological processes before it reaches the soil.

Every property is unique, which is why we offer customized septic field replacement solutions tailored to the specific demands of your site. Our team ensures your new septic field not only meets regulatory standards but also your expectations for reliability and performance.
