The moment you you turn that shiny new key in the lock, a wave of accomplishment washes over you—no more landlords, no more rented walls. You wander through empty rooms envisioning paint colors, furniture layouts, and lazy Sunday mornings with coffee on your own porch.
Building your own home is an exhilarating adventure that turns sweat into satisfaction and blueprints into a personal sanctuary.
Figuring out what septic system your house needs is a soul-crushing slog through a swamp of jargon, soil tests, and county regulations that feel designed to break your spirit.

A gravity septic system is a wastewater treatment system that relies on gravity to move sewage from a home or building to a septic tank and then to a drain field for treatment and disposal. Wastewater flows naturally through pipes without the need for pumps, as the system is designed with a downward slope to facilitate movement.

A pressurized septic system is a wastewater treatment system that uses a pump to move effluent from the septic tank to the drain field, unlike gravity systems that rely on natural flow. After solids settle in the septic tank and are partially broken down by bacteria, the liquid effluent is pumped under pressure through small-diameter pipe

After solids settle in the septic tank and are partially broken down by bacteria, the liquid effluent is pumped under pressure through small-diameter pipes to a drain field, where it is distributed evenly for soil treatment.

Level 2 treatment employs secondary processes—such as aerobic treatment units, recirculating media filters, or modular technologies like EcoPods or AquaKlear—to reduce effluent nitrogen to levels around 24 milligrams per liter or lower. These systems are more complex and costly than standard anaerobic setups but ensure compliance with str
Level 2 treatment employs secondary processes—such as aerobic treatment units, recirculating media filters, or modular technologies like EcoPods or AquaKlear—to reduce effluent nitrogen to levels around 24 milligrams per liter or lower. These systems are more complex and costly than standard anaerobic setups but ensure compliance with stricter environmental standards for new or upgraded installations.
