For homeowners living in rural, or even suburban areas where the municipal water and sewer system is not connected to your plumbing, septic tank installation is a viable and appropriate wastewater disposal solution. When well-maintained, septic systems can last for many decades and provide a cost-effective alternative to the city sewer system. Whether you’re moving to a new home or choosing to live off the grid, below are several types of properties where septic system installation is common.

3 Properties for Septic Tank Installation

1. Vacation Home

If you own a vacation house that isn’t regularly used, septic tank installation is an environmentally friendly way to handle waste management. If the home is in a rural or secluded area, municipal sewer services won’t be an option. A small septic system that can sustain infrequent visits will be perfect and easy to maintain.

2. Vacant Land

Building a new home on land that isn’t served by a sewer system will require a septic tank installation. Largely populated areas are typically serviced by a public sewer system. If your property is on land in a low populated county, you’ll need to install a well and septic system.

3. Farmhouse or Ranch

When you don’t live close to a large city, you should expect to install a well and septic system, if it’s not already on the land. It’s an inexpensive and convenient option if you plan to run a commercial or residential farm or ranch. As with any septic system installation, you will likely be required to get a permit from the local government agency and hire a qualified contracting team to perform the installation.
