In Wakulla county, it's required for all new septic system installations and repair systems to be engineer designed.

With this type of system, the engineer will design a system based off a set of performance standards, and maintenance will perform a semi-annual inspections to ensure the system functions properly.
Every locality has their regulations about what you need in a septic system. Those are often quite detailed and are often written with local needs- like the most common soil types- in mind. You definitely need to know the rules- and an expert in septic installation does.
Did you know that you should never build or pave over a drain-field? Your drain field plays a large part in decomposing waste after it has passed through your tank and needs to be left unobstructed to filter the waste water properly.
Oftentimes a failing or faltering septic system will have an unpleasant odor associated with it. Bubbling or gurgling sounds can also be an indication of trouble. If you notice any signs or symptoms of septic failure, it’s important that you have it repaired as soon as possible.
If your home relies on a septic tank, then it’s important to minimize solid waste by only flushing materials that decompose. Use the absolute minimum of toilet paper, and avoid flushing such materials as paper towels.
If you suspect that there are leaks in your pipes, then a sewer drain service right away is imperative. Drains can develop leaks over time, and the last thing you need is sewage and waste water leaking under your yard or even in your house.
