How Do You Decide What Size or Type of Septic System I Need?

Category: Q&A

System size is based primarily on:

  • Number of bedrooms (not bathrooms)

  • Soil conditions

  • Property layout

  • Local regulations

Options may include:

  • Conventional gravity systems

  • Mound systems

  • ATU (aerobic treatment units)

  • Pumped/pressure systems

Even if only two people live in the home, the system must be sized for future occupancy.
