What changes in Keystone Heights
Keystone's deep sand accepts water so readily that an undersized system runs for years without a symptom and then stops, and the replacement is sized properly rather than to the old drawing. The new tank goes in with risers, the field is sized to the site evaluation, and both keep 75 feet from the well on a small lake lot, which decides where they can go.
Where the shallow well on the same lot has gone dry with the falling water table, the replacement well is planned on the same site plan.
How the job runs
How a tank is replaced
The failed tank is pumped and inspected so the replacement is quoted from what is seen. The permit is filed with the county environmental health office, with the new tank sized to the bedroom count. The drain field is inspected honestly before the new tank is connected to it. The new tank, precast concrete or polyethylene depending on access and groundwater, is set level with risers to grade and inlet and outlet connected. The old tank is pumped, crushed and filled, or removed. The county inspects before backfill and the record is closed. Financing through Hearth is available.
Straight answers
Septic Tank Replacement questions from Keystone Heights
Why did a system with no symptoms suddenly fail?
Deep sand hides an overload until the trenches seal. The replacement is sized so that does not repeat.
Can the well and the septic be planned together?
Yes, and on a small lot they have to be.
