FAQ's

A: A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment structure used in areas without centralized sewers. It includes a septic tank and a drainfield. The tank digests organic matter and separates oils, grease, and solids from wastewater. The treated liquid, or effluent, leaves the tank and undergoes soil filtration in the drainfield.

A: In Maricopa County, an alternative septic system may be required under specific conditions: 1. A slope greater than 15% – Traditional septic systems struggle on steep inclines, posing challenges in liquid distribution and absorption. 2. 50% or more of the ground being rock – Significant rock content impedes the percolation process necessary for a septic system to function properly. 3. Presence of a limiting layer – Dense clay or bedrock close to the surface can hinder the natural filtration process required by traditional septic systems. 4. Insufficient room for regulatory spacing from a wash – Local regulations mandate specific distances between septic systems and natural water conduits, such as washes, streams, or rivers. Insufficient space can pose a risk of contamination to nearby water sources and disrupt the wastewater treatment process. BEST Septic Solutions provides expert site and soil testing, permitting, and design services to help you navigate these complex requirements and ensure compliance with local regulations.
