Fiberglass or Concrete Septic Tank?

Most of the septic systems installed in Pima County are concrete and range in size from 1000 gallons up to 2000 gallons. The concrete septic tank has stood the test of time in Pima County and is found on over 98% of all the septic installations I have performed.

When would you use a fiberglass tank? On rare occasions we will use a fiberglass septic tank when we are unable to access the excavated area with a crane truck. The fiberglass tank is substantially more to install due to site preparation and much weaker than a traditional concrete tank. While I would never recommend driving over a septic tank, you could drive a personal vehicle over a concrete tank, whil the fiberglass tank would probably cave in.

Septic Permits

For the last couple of years getting a septic permit has been frustrating. It was not uncommon for a permit to take four to six weeks and it seemed that the County was unwilling to do much about it.

Due to the huge slow down in septic permit requests new permits can be issued in less than one week. Seems we are back to the good 'ol days!

Give me a call if you would like to schedule your percolation test and install your septic by next week!
