5 Things to Consider When You Need a Septic System

Choosing the right contractor for your septic system design and installation is a crucial decision that impacts the efficiency and longevity of your system. At SES Mid Atlantic, we provide invaluable guidance in this process. This comprehensive guide highlights five key considerations, ensuring a successful design and installation tailored to your specific needs.

1 .Understanding Your Needs and Property Limitations

Each property has unique characteristics that influence the type of septic system required. Before proceeding with design and permitting, we conduct detailed soil studies to assess your property and any septic limitations. This step is critical in determining the right system design, taking into account factors like soil type, topography, house location, property size and desired number of bedrooms. Learn more about these essential evaluations through our Homeowner Services.

2. Choosing the Right Septic System

Septic systems vary significantly in design and function. Conventional systems are suited for well-drained soils &  alternative systems are for more challenging conditions or when size is a factor. Our expertise ensures the selection of a system that not only matches your soil characteristics but also works for you from aesthetics to long term performance and value. For an in-depth understanding of different septic systems, our Resources page provides valuable insights.

3. Experience and Expertise of the Company

Many firms only offer soil investigation and design services.  Others only offer installation and still others only provide service. At SES Mid Atlantic, we boast a wealth of experience in septic system investigation design, installation and maintenance, backed by a team skilled in diverse project requirements. We want you to be a customer for life, so our commitment to quality and efficiency is based on designing a system with your long term needs and expectations in mind. Perc & Design Services page.

4. Long-Term Maintenance and Support

Both conventional and alternative septic systems are a long-term investment requiring regular inspection and maintenance. Our comprehensive service offerings include not only installation but also ongoing support such as pumping, repairs, and inspections. This holistic approach ensures your system remains in top condition, safeguarding your investment. The importance of regular maintenance is further underscored in the EPA’s Guide to Septic Systems.

5. Regulatory Compliance

Adherence to local and environmental regulations is non-negotiable in septic system installation. Our installations are fully compliant with Virginia’s health and safety standards, ensuring peace of mind and environmental stewardship. This compliance is critical, as highlighted by resources like the National Environmental Services Center.
