Low Pressure Pipe (LPP) Systems
Advanced Solutions for Challenging Septic Fields
Low Pressure Pipe (LPP) systems are an effective solution for properties with difficult soil, high groundwater tables, or limited space. We specialize in the expert installation of these sophisticated systems, which use pumps and small-diameter pipes to distribute effluent evenly across the absorption field under controlled pressure.
System Design & Layout: Custom LPP design to match your property’s specific soil and topography.
Efficient Distribution: Ensuring wastewater is dispersed uniformly for better treatment and soil absorption.
Code Compliance: Guaranteeing your LPP system meets all environmental and health department regulations.
Drip Disposal Systems
Eco-Friendly and Efficient Wastewater Treatment
Drip disposal systems represent the cutting edge of septic technology, offering an eco-friendly and highly efficient method for wastewater treatment. These systems use treated effluent dispersed just beneath the surface through a network of small, flexible tubing (drip lines).
Benefits of Drip Disposal:
Minimal Soil Impact: Ideal for sites with challenging terrain or limited suitable area for a traditional drain field.
Water Conservation: Effluent is returned to the soil, supporting vegetation growth.
Subsurface Delivery: The system is virtually invisible, protecting your landscape and maximizing usable yard space.
Expert Installation: We manage the installation of the pretreatment unit, dosing tank, and complex drip network.
Mound Systems
Specialized Septic Solutions for Challenging Landscapes
Mound systems are highly engineered, alternative septic solutions designed for properties that cannot support a traditional drain field due to challenging soil conditions, such as a high water table, shallow bedrock, or soil that is either too permeable (sand/gravel) or too slowly permeable (clay).
Our Mound System Expertise Includes:
Site Assessment: Detailed analysis of soil, groundwater, and site layout to determine the optimal design and size for the mound.
Precision Installation: Building the mound using specified materials and precise layering techniques to ensure long-term performance and functionality.
Regulatory Compliance: Handling all aspects of permitting and installation to meet the strictest local health department and environmental regulations.
Aesthetic Integration: Designing the final graded mound to blend seamlessly into your property’s landscape.
