Septic System Design. Make sure you get a good septic designer to do the job for you. The septic designer will carry out the necessary tests and come up with a good design. Tell the designer where you will build your house but let them give their input. What many homeowners do not know is the fact that moving the house even a few feet makes the difference between a more expensive pump system and a regular gravity fed system. This will save you a lot of money. The gravity const system is very cheap compared to the pump system which needs pumps to function properly. It is also cheaper to maintain the gravity system as it has less moving parts which in most cases break down. If the designer says that you cannot have a regular septic system design try to ask them whether there are any other types of systems and the advantages and disadvantages of each type. However, if the designer pushes you towards only one type of septic design the reason may be because that is the only system they can do. If this is the case, take your copy of the site and the soil conditions and contact other contractors to find out about their opinions.
