Quality Mound Systems
When Do We Need a Mound System?
High-Performing Mound Systems
Because acceptable soil conditions are not always found below the surface, building a mound above ground allows the soil conditions to be properly constructed.
Mound systems were developed to overcome three natural conditions:
- slow or fast permeable soils
- shallow soil cover over creviced or porous bedrock
- a high water table
A site that has any one of these three situations (or a combination of them) is not suited for a conventional, gravity fed system.
A site that has slow or fast permeable soils, a high-water table, and / or shallow soil cover over creviced / porous bedrock is not suitable for a conventional, gravity-fed system. The mound systems were developed to overcome these three natural conditions.
Since ideal soil conditions are not always found below the surface, constructing a mound above the ground allows the soil conditions to be properly fabricated. Call the professionals at Creed Septic System Specialists today!
