Drainage Field and Types – Complete Septic Systems in Hayward, Wisconsin
Let us Introduce Ourselves!
Hello, my name is Mark Thompson I am a Wisconsin state certified & licensed master plumber restricted service & soil tester license # (877598).
Even though my business is new, I am not new to the area. I have been installing septics and soil testing in the Hayward area for 25 years. I was previously employed through Thompson’s Sand & Gravel.
Soils & Septics, who needs them?
Whether you are in the market for a new piece of property, and need a soil test, or your existing system is failing, or just not big enough, that’s where I come in.
Soils:
Before a septic system can be installed a state certified soil evaluation must be performed by a licensed soil tester. The property needs to be evaluated for proper setbacks and acceptable soil conditions. A sanitary permit cannot be pulled without a soil test.
Septic’s:
Once a soil evaluation has been performed, you can then apply (through a master plumber) for your sanitary permit. We then will file the necessary paperwork and fees with the County and/or State for approval. Once it is approved the installation process can begin.
Septic Permits and Paperwork—We Handle It All
Once your soil test is approved, we apply for your sanitary permit through your county or the State of Wisconsin. As a licensed Master Plumber Restricted Service (MPRS), Mark Thompson files all necessary documentation and pays required fees on your behalf.
“We take care of the paperwork so you can focus on your property.”
Different types of septic systems
There are many different types of septic systems that can be installed.
depending on the type of soil, amount of land we have to work with, and necessary setbacks.
Conventional
A conventional gravity flow system is acceptable when there is ample amount of property, and a nice sandy soil is present. Also, if the waste from the house can freely flow from the house to the tank, then from the tank to the drain field.
Pump-Up System
A Conventional pump-up system is pretty much the same as a conventional except the effluent is required to be pumped from the tank up hill to the drain field.
Mound System
A mound system is required when the soils are unacceptable to handle a typical conventional system. It is usually a pump-up system to a drain field that sits above ground. The materials used for the mound must meet state specifications.
At-Grade System
An at-grade system is needed when the soils are acceptable to certain point then turn bad. It typically doesn’t sit as high as a mound but is partially above ground.
Holding Tank
A holding Tank is required when the soils are not acceptable for a drain field, and/or the property has insufficient space to handle a drain field. Holding tanks are regulated by the county and are subject to the laws set in place by each county, which may differ from county to county.
