How To Make Sure You Have The Right Septic Tank For Your Home

It’s vital to examine the type of septic tank you’ll need, whether you’re having one installed or replacing an old one in your home. This is determined by a variety of factors, including the size of the property and the number of people living there. Read on to ensure that you have the right septic tank for your home.

What is a septic tank?

All of the wastewater that leaves your house first goes to a septic tank. After that, the waste is retained in the septic tank for a period of time while it separates the particles from the liquids before being filtered into your drainage area.

What factors should I consider when choosing a septic tank for my home?

When choosing the appropriate size septic tank for your home, you must consider a number of factors. This includes the following:

1. The size of your home’s square footage

The square footage of your home is a fantastic method to figure out what size septic tank is ideal for you. The larger your home, the larger your septic tank will likely be. A 750 or 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example, is commonly used in a home under 1,500 square feet. A bigger house of roughly 2,500 square feet, on the other hand, will almost certainly need a tank in the 1,250-gallon range.

2. The number of people who live in the house

The greater the occupancy rate in your property, the larger your septic tank should be. For instance, if you have two people living in your home, a modest septic tank will suffice. If you have more than five people living in your home, you’ll need a larger septic tank to handle all of the waste in a sanitary and efficient manner.

3. The number of bedrooms available in the house

The more bedrooms you have in the home, the bigger the septic tank you’ll need. A family of three in a two-bedroom house, for example, will likely need a smaller septic tank than a family of six in a four-bedroom house.

What are some other features that I should consider?

Septic TankThere are several factors to consider when determining the size of the septic tank required to meet the demands of your household and to ensure wastewater treatment. For instance, do you have any of the following in your home:

  • Dishwashers
  • Two separate kitchens
  • Appliances that use less water
  • A jacuzzi, a hot tub or a swimming pool
 
While many of the above-mentioned upgrades to your house are considered a luxury, these are all elements that might raise the capacity of your septic tank and should be considered when choosing a septic tank for your home.
