2 Things To Think About Before You Choose Your New Septic Tank

If your septic tank needs to be replaced, you want to make sure that you are making the right decision as to which tank to have installed. There are some things that you need to think about before you make your final decision as to which tank you are going to get installed. 

Accessibility

One of the things that you need to do is think about how accessible the tank is going to be. While you don't need to access it on a daily basis, there are times when it is necessary for someone to be able to get to the tank easily. For example, you are going to need to have your tank pumped out regularly, which means that workers are going to need to be able to get to the tank. It's the same in case something happens to your tank. So, when you decide where the tank is going to go, you need to think about where it will be easily accessible. 

Size

There are a number of sizes of septic tanks out there, but not all of them are going to be the right size for you and your needs. Many residential septic tanks can hold about 1000 gallons, and in most cases, that is the right size for the purpose. But, there are some times when that isn't going to be right. If you have a large family or if you are going to have a lot of wastewater going into your tank, then you might want to think about getting a larger tank, just so that you are going to have the extra space to meet your needs. If you are going to have a larger tank, you are going to need to make sure that you have a commensurately larger space in your yard for it because it will take up more space, and you are going to need to have a larger leach field in order for the full process of filtration and cleaning can happen. A larger tank may also mean that you are going to have to move where you are going to put the tank as well as make adjustments to your landscaping.
