Dangers of Septic Tank Odor - 0 views

  The mound system ought to be designed carefully, taking into consideration the topography of the site, the volume of septic tank effluent to be treated and the porosity in the topsoil to avoid failure in the system and boggy areas in the base of the pile. The design cannot be guessed and has to be done by a skilled professional, using test outcomes and calculations.
  
  I have seen badly designed mounds blast a hole in the side as they are too small for the responsibility.
  
  Effluent is piped for a pumping station tank, where it is pumped in batches into the mound pipe-work. Septic mounds can look very attractive and can form the main landscaping of a garden. You are not allowed to plant shrubs on top of them, but they can be planted around their bottom part.
  
  Septic Tank Soakaway Pits
  
  In earlier times, many septic tank systems used soakaway pits, although these pits are no longer acceptable under modern creating regulations. They consisted on the large hole in the ground, open at the bottom part, either blocked round with gaps between the blocks to allow seepage in the effluent into the dirt, or simply holes packed with stones. Some soakaway pits were made of large concrete rings with gaps relating to the rings and the septic tank effluent was piped into them. They were constantly covered, usually with a sizable concrete slab, but we were looking at often a failure, as no calculations were undertaken to look for the porosity of the surrounding soil plus they soon were filled using septic effluent. The drains then fill relating to the pit and the tank, which backs-up the over-all septic system.
  
  Site Conditions and Installation
  
  Most sites within the uk are not suitable for septic tank systems. Either the soil contains excessive clay or is way too porous, or the winter mineral water table or bedrock is too on the surface. If the dirt is clay, then you won't soak the septic effluent away and whether it is too coarse it will not retain the effluent long enough for treatment. You may consider a non-electric sewage procedure plant instead. Sometimes, you'll be able to adapt a septic system to suit a basically unsuitable online site, but this requires careful planning and design by a pro. As a general principle, if the site provides either insufficient soil detail, or the wrong type of soil, it is not suitable for a septic system. Always contact your Building Inspector before deciding on a septic system.
  
  The length of a septic system, both tank and the soakaway spot, is determined by may be bedrooms in the house and porosity in the soakaway soil. A septic system cannot work should it be overloaded, so always bear in mind any plans you can have for extending the property before you end up picking the size of that septic system. Increasing the size later ends in a ruined garden.
  
  Lastly, always check with air Agency and you nearby Building Control before picking out a septic system. They will employ a good idea as to gemstone likely to work in your area and could save you thousands of pounds in replacing an not fit septic installation.
