When you're building a new home or replacing a system that's beyond repair in Allentown, proper installation determines whether your septic system will function reliably for decades or fail within a few years. Allied Water Services handles every step of the installation process, from excavation and tank placement to leach field construction and final inspections. You'll have a code-compliant system built with high-quality materials, positioned correctly for your property's drainage patterns, and designed to handle your household's wastewater volume without frequent repairs.

Installation begins with excavation that follows the approved design plans, ensuring the tank and leach field are placed at the correct depths and locations. The tank is set on a compacted gravel base to prevent settling, and inlet and outlet pipes are connected with proper pitch to maintain flow. Leach field trenches are dug to specification, lined with gravel, and fitted with distribution pipes that spread wastewater evenly across the absorption area. Each component is inspected at multiple stages to confirm it meets structural and regulatory standards before backfilling begins.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Septic installation in Allentown requires precision at every stage to prevent future problems like tank shifting, pipe misalignment, or leach field saturation. Excavation is done carefully to avoid disturbing surrounding soil or damaging utilities, and the tank is placed on a stable base that won't settle unevenly over time. Inlet and outlet baffles are installed to control flow and prevent solids from entering the leach field.

Once the tank is in place, distribution lines are laid in trenches filled with clean gravel that allows wastewater to filter through soil naturally. Allied Water Services uses materials that resist corrosion and root intrusion, and all connections are sealed to prevent leaks. After the system is fully installed, inspections are coordinated with local authorities to verify compliance before the site is backfilled and restored.

The installation also includes any required risers, access ports, or monitoring components specified in your design plans. If your system uses pressure distribution or other engineered features, those components are installed and tested to ensure they operate correctly under normal conditions. The goal is a system that handles your household's wastewater efficiently without surfacing, backing up, or requiring constant attention.

Homeowners planning new installations often have questions about the construction process and what to expect during and after the work.

How long does a new septic installation take?

Most installations take three to five days depending on system size, site conditions, and weather. This includes excavation, component placement, leach field construction, and backfilling once inspections are complete.

What materials are used in a new septic system?
Tanks are typically concrete or high-density polyethylene, and distribution pipes are PVC designed for underground wastewater use. Gravel used in leach fields is clean, crushed stone that allows proper drainage without clogging.

What happens if it rains during installation?
Heavy rain can delay work because saturated soil affects compaction and grading. If conditions allow, tarps and drainage measures are used to keep excavation areas dry until the system is installed and backfilled.

How soon can the system be used after installation?
You can use the system as soon as final inspections are passed and the site is restored. There's no curing period for the system itself, but it's important to avoid driving heavy equipment over the leach field.

What maintenance does a new system require?
New systems should be pumped every three to five years depending on household size and water use in Allentown. Regular pumping prevents solids from reaching the leach field and extends system life significantly.
