Best Septic Systems for Your Commercial Property

A septic system is an essential component of any commercial property. The right septic system can efficiently treat the underground wastewater in your commercial place.



One of the reasons you need a commercial septic system is to enjoy a healthy environment. Treated wastewater is free from foul odor and harmful natural bacteria. Environmental protection by your commercial septic system will also promote public health.

Regular commercial septic system maintenance will help you enjoy the discussed benefits. In addition, you will extend the lifespan of your septic system.

Septic systems come in several types, which you can choose from. Read on to learn about some of the best septic systems you can choose for your commercial property.

Sand Filter Septic System

A sand filter septic system is a good option if your commercial place has high groundwater. The system has a large concrete box where sand filtration takes place. The components of a sand filtration system include:

• Drain field
• Septic tank
• Pump chamber
• Sand filter

The septic tank receives and treats the underground wastewater from the commercial property. The wastewater then gets pumped into the sand filter. Once sand filtration occurs, the wastewater gets distributed to the drain field.

A sand filter system is environmentally friendly and easier to maintain. However, you should have a good budget for its installation.

Pressure Distribution System

Sometimes, soil topography can hinder a uniform distribution of underground wastewater. The challenge can prevent efficient wastewater treatment. One way to handle the issue in your commercial property is to install a pressure distribution septic system.

The system also ensures that the treated wastewater gets distributed evenly in the drain field. Pressure distribution septic systems work well in areas with shallow, permeable soils. A pressure distribution septic system has a septic tank, drainage pipes, pump tank, and pump controls. The components ensure efficient wastewater treatment and distribution in the drain fields.

Septic Tank Systems

The purpose of a septic tank system is to separate underground wastewater from the sludge. The lighter sludge gets discharged from the tank while the heavy sludge remains in the tank. A septic tank system should be underground to protect the environment. An underground septic tank system poses few risks in case it malfunctions.

The first component of a septic tank system is the septic tank. The major types of septic tanks you can install in your commercial place include:

• Concrete septic tank
• Aerobic septic tank
• Fiberglass septic tank

Other important components of septic tank systems are soil and drain fields. The soil microbes remove viruses, germs, and bacteria from the treated wastewater.

Evapotranspiration Absorption Septic System

Absorption septic systems work through evaporation, transpiration, and absorption methods. Evapotranspiration systems are unique and different from other septic systems.

Unlike other septic systems, absorption systems do not discharge wastewater into the drain field. Therefore, the wastewater doesn't get filtered into the soil.

An absorption system has an aerobic unit (septic tank) and a sand bed. Evapotranspiration takes place in the sand bed. An evapotranspiration septic system is suitable if your commercial property is in hot areas. So summer can make your absorption septic system perform more efficiently.

Cluster Septic System

A cluster septic system can serve you and your neighboring commercial building at the same time. However, the system's drain field and septic tank must be near the served commercial buildings.

A cluster septic system can save space in your commercial place. You can also choose the system if you want to cost-share with the other business owner. So the installation and maintenance costs of cluster septic systems are less. A well-installed cluster septic system will not contaminate your groundwater. Therefore, you won't have to worry about your property's damage or environmental pollution.
