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 installed with gravel or plastic chambers in the dug out level trenches. Although gravel is an acceptable medium for the trenches, the plastic chambers allow oxygen into trench to help treat effluent further, before it leaches out and evaporates. The soil will benefit from the better bacteria and cleaner water.

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 Units have been around for many years as well as the processes that make them so successful. The Infiltrator brand Enviro Aire EA 52.5 meets NSF 40 Standard. With addition of Nanopod-N inside tank as an extra process, NSF 40 and 245 Standards can be met! In KY, the addition of an Aerobic Treatment Unit can reduce size of leach field by 30% putting cleaner effluent into the ground while decreasing the overall footprint of the system. The addition of the Nanopod-N reduces the overall nitrogen content of effluent by up to 53%!
