New Septic System Installation

New Septic System Installation in Bangor

Putting a new onsite wastewater treatment system on a Bangor lot means building three parts that have to work together: the septic tank, the distribution box, and the drainfield. Theilluum designs and installs the whole system, sized from your bedroom count. A three bedroom home typically calls for a 1,000 to 1,250 gallon concrete tank, with the soil absorption field sized to the perc rate. We handle new construction and first-time systems on parcels that have never had one, out toward Stillwater Avenue and across Penobscot County.

Why Start With a Full Design

A septic system is only as good as the field under it. If the tank is set without a proper soil evaluation, the effluent has nowhere safe to go, and a drainfield that cannot drain surfaces or backs up. Designing the whole system at once, tank through field, is what keeps the four foot vertical separation to groundwater intact and keeps the setbacks from your well correct.

Our Process

We begin with a perc test and soil profile evaluation, then pull the county health department permit once the numbers confirm the drainfield size. Next comes the excavation, the tank set on a level bed, the D-box, and the trench or chamber field. After the inspection passes, we backfill, grade, and seed the disturbed ground and hand you the as built record.
