Drip Emitter System

Drip emitter systems are becoming more frequently used as a means to dispose of wastewater, which is typically the job of a conventional septic system. Septic systems are used in rural areas that do not have access to municipality provided sewage pipes. However, these conventional systems are large, and because of building regulations, many empty lots are deemed unbuildable because of the state-mandated percolation tests. If soil is substandard it cannot properly drain from these conventional septic systems.

Greater Flexibility – Replacing an entire septic tank system can mean tearing up your yard, trees or other important landscaping features which may be placed over the septic field. Installing a drip system offers more flexibility in terms of where the drip tubing and emitters are placed, and they can even be placed on sloping terrain.

Access to System – Because drip emitter systems are installed in shallow soil, there is better access to the system in terms of needing to provide maintenance or repairs to it in the future. A typical sewer system repair can be quite costly due to the amount of labor required to dig down to the septic tank.

Use in Poor Drainage Areas – Drip emitter systems use active means to force the wastewater into the soil, and is not dependant on the quality of the soil itself. This allows builders to purchase property that may not have passed a percolation test; something that would have previously prevented them from building on such land.
