Drainage Field and Types – Complete Septic Systems in Hayward, WI

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

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.
