A gravity system is a traditional type of septic system used by many homeowners that uses natural forces rather than complicated technology.
Pressure Distribution System
Most septic systems rely on gravity to dispose of sewage, but there are situations when the site isn’t suitable for this type of system or a homeowner desires even distribution of wastewater. This is where having a pressure distribution can help.
Pressure Distribution System
Mound systems are an alternative to conventional drainfields and work very similarly. As its name implies, a mound system uses a mound of soil to treat sewage. These systems are appropriate in locations that have shallow bedrock, high water table or limited soil depth.
Sand filters have many moving parts and are considered the “Ferrari” of septic systems. And just like Ferraris, they require professional installation and maintenance. Speedy Septic’s certified technicians are experts in sand filter systems.
