Environmental Drilling Hudson Geotechnical Drilling for Septic Systems

Septic systems for residential homes are a critical component in areas that do not have access to city water and sewer usage. Somewhere between ten and fifteen percent of the population in the United States relies on having a local sewage system to depend on, most commonly in rural areas that lie beyond city limits. In order to get septic systems installed, a construction company will call upon the skills and services of a professional geotechnical drilling company that handles environmental drilling. Hudson residents should be made aware that this is a common practice for rural areas that are becoming more developed with new homes being constructed.

Starting the Process of Installing a New Septic System

It should be known that not just anyone can start drilling holes in order to make room for a new septic system. Construction and drilling professionals may have to meet with members of the county and local health department in order to locate all existing wells and septic systems. When it comes to installing a septic system through environmental drilling, Hudson residents should know that there are specific rules and procedures that must be followed. Soil testing and sample collection is another part of the initial process to get construction going to find the best spot on the property for the system and drainage areas.

The process of Getting a Permit

Once a geotechnical drilling company has gathered all the samples and submitted them to the county and health apartment, they are still not ready to start drilling for septic tank installation. A building permit must be approved and issued before any further work can be done. Keep in mind though that this process changes depending on the local jurisdiction that someone is trying to perform environmental drilling. Hudson residents should know that this process is not always something that gets done in a couple of days, and sometimes it can take many weeks before a hired company can start drilling to install a residential septic system.
