Septic Mounds Overview
Mounds Systems were created as a way to overcome challenges faced with some conventional septic systems. A thorough evaluation of your property will provide the best answers on which kind of On-site Sewage Collection & Treatment System will be most effective and in compliance with local and state ordinances. This Alternative Septic System utilizes an elevated mound that raises the treatment area up above ground level and away from unsuitable soil, bedrock or water tables.
3 Parts of a Mound Septic System
Your Mound System most likely will be made up of three main components. The diagram shown above is an example of what the inside of the septic mound may look like. Each On-site Residential Sewage Treatment System must be specifically designed to work with unique characteristics of the individual property.
- Septic Tank
- Dosing or Pump Chamber
- Elevated Mound
