Installation Instructions

1. Insure that your plumbing and xtures are in good working order with no leaks. Be sure to inspect;
faucets, commodes, sinks, bathtubs, water softeners, washing machines, garbage disposals, water
lter systems, sump pumps, etc.
2. Inspect the septic piping for breakage, crimping, or cracks. A good indicator of this is if the soil
around the site is saturated. Note: Never drive a vehicle over your septic piping or system
what-so-ever.
3. Inspect the tank for any kind of damage. Cracks, dents, and bends are a real good indication that
a septic tank may be failing. Note the amount of waste in the tank. Look for anything that should
not be in the tank such as; rubber products, sanitary napkins, and the stray toys that a child may
have put into the system.
4. Inspect the distribution box and drain eld for signs of damage. Usually without running a camera
down the system the only way to tell is if the lawn is saturated. Another method is if you see sunken
areas of the yard.
