Septic System Types in Tulsa
Conventional Septic Systems
Traditional systems use gravity and natural bacterial action to treat wastewater. Effluent flows from septic tank into drain field where soil filters and purifies it. Common in established neighborhoods with larger lots.
Aerobic Treatment Systems
Required by Oklahoma DEQ for many new installations, aerobic systems actively inject oxygen to accelerate bacterial treatment. These systems produce cleaner effluent but require regular maintenance including:
- Quarterly inspections
- Annual maintenance contracts
- Chlorination system monitoring
- Pump and aerator service
- DEQ compliance reporting
Lateral Line Problems
Lateral lines distribute treated effluent across your drain field for final soil filtration. These perforated pipes buried in gravel trenches can fail due to:
- Root intrusion from trees and shrubs
- Soil compaction from vehicles or heavy equipment
- Biomat buildup blocking perforations
- Shifting soil or settling
- Age and deterioration
Failed lateral lines often require excavation and replacement. Our team carefully locates existing lines, removes failed sections, and installs new properly-sized laterals according to soil conditions.
Preventive Septic Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends septic system life and prevents costly failures:
- Pumping Schedule: Pump tanks every 3-5 years based on household size
- Inspections: Annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive
- Aerobic Maintenance: Quarterly service for aerobic systems keeps them DEQ-compliant
- Filter Cleaning: Clean effluent filters prevent clogging
- Proper Use: Education on what should and shouldn’t enter septic system
