Septic Tank Installation
Apex septic tank installation
The boys at A-Bell Excavating are hard at work installing a septic tank and pump tank for a repair septic system in University Place. As we have mentioned before, details are important, and A-Bell pays attention to the details. Just because it gets buried, doesn’t mean that the work should be sloppy. We will always recommend top-shelf installers like A-Bell to install the systems we design. They stand behind their work, and so do we.
Perk Test
Your septic designer hard at work
Performing a perk test (these days it’s known as a preliminary soil analysis) means getting down into the soil to see what’s going on. Since we don’t actually pour water in the holes and watch the perk rate anymore, getting down in the holes and inspecting the soil strata is necessary to see the soil looks like. Soil color is a big indicator of water levels, and we’re always trying to stay above the winter water table level.

Header Manifold
Clean septic system installation work. This photo of a pressure distribution septic system’s header manifold is a great example of what clean, professional installation work looks like. This was installed by the guys over at Kat Trax, and we really like their work. Just because it gets buried, doesn’t mean that the work should be sloppy. Attention to detail matters, and we always recommend installers that pay attention to the little details as well as the big ones.

Apex tackles the big drainfields
Last summer Apex designed a 12 bedroom pressure distribution system for a client on Henderson Bay in Gig Harbor. The system required 800 feet of drainfield trench. The system installer, Josh Peterson of Kat Trax, Inc. is shown here going over the details of the new system with the property owner.

Bonney Lake Gravity Design
digging test holes for a new septic design
Bonney Lake Gravity Design. We were out in Bonney Lake this past week getting started on a gravity septic design. It was a cold and foggy day, but at least it wasn’t raining. The lot is small, and doesn’t look like much now, but by the time it’s all done, you won’t even recognize it. The new owner demolished the old mobile home that was on the lot and also hauled away the old cars and trash. He’s building a new 3-bedroom home in its place, and getting a nice gravity flow septic system to help keep the building costs down. Design by Larry.
Horsehead Bay Pressure System
This past summer we designed a pressure distribution system for a waterfront property on Horesehead Bay in Gig Harbor. The system was a challenge due to the limited area available for a new septic system between the house, shoreline, and the existing failed drainfield. We were able to design the new system to be installed between the existing tranches of the failed system. The crew at Kat Trax did another excellent job on this install. Design by Larry.
University Place Gravity Flow Septic System
University Place Gravity Flow Septic System. The New Year has been keeping us busy so far! This simple 3-bedroom serial distribution gravity system was just installed in University Place near Tacoma. On small lots like this one, it is necessary to install the septic system before the house is built so that the installers can have easy access to the septic tank and drainfield area. Septic design by Larry.

Lake Tapps Pressure Distribution Septic Design
We jumped right into things for the New Year and got a customer started on building his dream home on beautiful Lake Tapps with a pressure distribution septic design. We’re excited for the Andersons, and the start of their building project! Design by Larry.
