LEVEL ON THE LEVEL

A standard septic system typically consists of a septic tank and a drainfield that uses natural soil filtration. An ATT, or Alternative Treatment Technology, includes advanced filtration and treatment methods (like sand filters, aerobic treatment units, UV disinfection) and is used when the site conditions (like soil type or lot size) don't allow for a traditional system.

The best system depends on your site's: soil composition, slope, available space, and local regulations. After evaluating your site, we can determine whether a standard system or an ATT is required. We will explain the options clearly.

Septic tanks are typically buried 1 to 3 feet below the surface, but the exact depth can vary based on the tank design, soil conditions, and local code. We always follow the required specifications for your property.
