Scheme of how a septic tank works

Septic Tanks For Any Type of Building

The installation of a septic tank is another facility that modern homeowners opt for. Not only it can minimize the burden on existing public sewer systems, but it also provides increased control over wastewater management and disposal.

In short, a septic tank system works by collecting wastewater from sinks, showers, and toilets and storing it in a large tank. The solid waste settles at the bottom of the tank while the liquid wastewater floats to the top. 

Bacteria then naturally break down the solid waste, creating an effluent that is released into a drain field. This drain field is composed of gravel-filled trenches which act as a filtration system before releasing clean water back into the soil.

A Solution With Many Benefits

When properly installed, septic tanks can provide a safe and reliable method for managing wastewater from households and buildings. 

In addition being a more eco-friendly solution than municipal septic systems, septic tanks come with lots of other benefits, including:

Septic Tank Installation FAQ

Yes, land clearing or grading may be needed before installing a septic tank, as well as performing a soil test. The test will tell us how fast your soil can drain and help identify the best septic tank system for that specific soil.

A septic tank installation in Colorado varies between $15K and 85K. The price varies based on the type and size of the tank and the materials used. For a two-bedroom house, a 750-gallon plastic tank would cost around $15K, while an average three-bedroom home will require a larger tank at over $26k. For large homes of at least four bedrooms, you’ll be looking to spend at least $35k. Important factors that impact the cost of a septic system is the soil quality and the engineering required to satisfy local Health Departments.

Some homeowners may want to cut costs by trying to do some of the work themselves. Colorado State Law requires all septic installers to be licensed by County level Health Departments. The compliance requirements for obtaining a permit and inspections requires these licenses. Additionally, under Colorado Law any transfer of property requires an inspection by a licensed professional. The reality is, doing it right from the beginning will save time, money and promote the health of our drinking water.

Septic systems come in more than ten types, the most common being gravity, conventional, or anaerobic systems. 

Other septic tank systems include chamber systems, drip or pressure distribution, recirculation sand filters, aerobic, and more. Septic tanks can also be made from different materials, such as concrete, plastic, or fiberglass.

Each has its own benefits and price points. Crush Excavation will happily assist you in choosing the best solution for your needs.

I can’t say enough about the friendly, knowledgeable service, the craftmanship, and quality of the work done. I had new floors and baseboard installed in my bathrooms. They look great. Charles replaced the toilets and installed a new door in one bathroom. I’d hire this company again.
