Installing drain field using infiltrator chambers

Our first septic system project was for the US Coast Guard installing a sand filter and drain field. The specifications were daunting but we did fine.  Since then we have developed a solid reputation with the county sanitarians, have developed our sources for pumps, controls and supply materials needed, and enjoy great service and lasting relationships with our suppliers.

Site Evaluations

A simple site evaluation consists of looking at the topography of a lot, determining where a house, driveway and drain field would most likely fit best.  A minimum of 2 test holes are dug, an application and plot plan are completed, then both are submitted to the County sanitarian who will do the evaluation.

Septic system installation

There are a number of different types of septic systems approved for use in Oregon. The County sanitarian determines the appropriate system based on the site evaluation.  Systems include: septic tank w/ gravity discharge to a standard drain field, Pressure distribution, Equal distribution,  Serial  distribution, Graveless drain field, Capping fills, Sand filters and ATT's. 

The pictures show the building of a standard sand filter a gravity drain field and 2 different ATT installations. . Sand filters and ATT's are known as pre-treatment  units that precede a drain field disposal area..

Not all lots are created equal, and not all lots have the soil conditions to support an approval, and sometimes a lot is obviously not suitable for approval of a septic system. If that is the case, we would not recommend spending the money on the application. All may not be lost with a denial though. There are options available that should be exhausted before giving up.   We’ve gotten a bit of a reputation I hear from partnering with quite a few realtors over the years to find a solution for questionable lots.
