When do I install my septic system?

At each percolation test most of my customers will ask, "So, when should I install the septic system -- before or after the home is built?"

I suppose it's fair to say that you could choose either option but here's a few things to consider:

1. After you build the home will the Septic Contractor have enough room to access the site with a backhoe and crane truck?

2. Are you planning on living on the site while the home is being built? Do you want to use your own septic or pay for a portable toilet?

3. If you install the system first will it be far enough out of the way so that it's not damaged during the construction process?

4. Does your plumber have experience plumbing for septics? Most plumbers are used to hooking up to city sewer lines and plumb too deep. If your septic contractor has to follow a plumber who over digs the plumbing it could affect your engineering plan and raise the cost of your septic system.
