Types of Septic Systems
Traditional Gravity Flow Systems
At Dirt Works RRG, we can install all types of systems but generally the most common are gravity flow systems that do not require any pumps and are typically the most cost-effective systems to install. Even in poor soil conditions, gravity flow systems are usually used with gravel or plastic chambers in the dug out level trenches. Although gravel is an acceptable medium for the trenches, the plastic chambers with slits on the sides, allow oxygen to help create aerobic bacteria to help break dwon effluent quicker so that as effluent slowly leaches out of trench into top soil, the plants and insects will benefit from the good bacteria coming with it instead of just raw sewage leaching into the ground.

Pump Systems and Alternatives to Subsurface Dispersal
In a pump system, solids and effluent are filtered in the holding tank before gravity flowing into a smaller secondary tank where it's only purpose is to pump the effluent to a higher elevation to achieve proper gravity flow distribution to leach field. In the event that soil conditions are not suitable for a leach field, pump systems can easily pump effluent to a constructed lagoon or wetland cell.
Low Pressure Pump is another system designed for small areas with good soil. The leach lines can be closer together and pump delivers a dose that is pressurized through the system so it is dispersed evenly all at the same time, 200 gallons at a time from the pump tank.
Constructed Lagoons and Wetland Cells are both adequate alternatives to either reduce linear footage of leach line needed ( in the case of a wetland cell ) or no leach lines at all ( in the case of a constructed lagoon )
Advanced Treatment Systems
Advanced Treatment Tanks have the ability to offer a 30% reduction in leach lines
