Septic Tank & Sewage System Specialists in Wayne, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2013
“Scott Thomas (Better Way Excavating) has performed several projects for the Deer Run HOA. In each of these cases he responded to our phone requests; followed up in a timely manner; and completed the work on or before the expected due dates. All of our projects were completed in a professional manner and in many cases Scott was able to advise the Board of Directors which of the solutions were cost effective and would take care of the problems. We can report that every job has been 100% and at a cost that we felt was very reasonable for the work he performed. The Deer Run Board would not hesitate to recommend his company to any prospective client. Projects were on Stover Court, Deer Run Drive, and Limestone Drive in Hummelstown, PA 17036”

Sewage treatment is a dilemma for all new house constructions that are not without ready connection to local council services. Once installed, your effluent is dealt with in a tank that allows separation and absorption into the ground. Septic system experts in Wayne, PA will let you know if your setup must meet Environment Protection Authority Guidelines.

Septic tank prices in Wayne vary depending on the size of the family home, just as installations will be pricier in less forgiving landscapes which require more planning and excavation. Wastewater management may also include the treatment of grey water - wastewater collected from washing machines, dishwashers and kitchen sinks.

How Do Septic Tank and Sewage Systems Work?


A large concrete or steel septic tank can hold up to 1,000 gallons of water. Wastewater comes down into the tank on one side from your Wayne, PA home’s sewage pipes and leaves the tank on the other side. Gases go up through a vent pipe through the roof of the house. Wastewater flows out of the septic tank and into a drain field made of perforated pipes, deeply buried and covered in gravel-filled trenches.

The drain field tends to be about 180 centimetres deep and sixty centimetres wide. Ultimately, the size of the drain field depends on how well the soil absorbs water, with slow-absorbing soil requiring a larger drain field. About one metre of gravel covers the drain pipes, with dirt filling the remainder.

Installing a septic tank system is best left to a licensed advanced wastewater treatment system installer, who can anticipate what size drain field your Wayne, PA system will need. Whether you’re working on a new build or a renovation, make sure your septic expert and installer openly communicates with your builder or plumber.
