When Do We Need a Mound System?

High-Performing Mound Systems

Because acceptable soil conditions are not always found below the surface, building a mound above ground allows the soil conditions to be properly constructed.

Mound systems were developed to overcome three natural conditions: 

1. slow or fast permeable soils 
2. shallow soil cover over creviced or porous bedrock 
3. a high water table 

A site that has any one of these three situations (or a combination of them) is not suited for a conventional, gravity fed system.

A site that has slow or fast permeable soils, a high-water table, and / or shallow soil cover over creviced / porous bedrock is not suitable for a conventional, gravity-fed system. The mound systems were developed to overcome these three natural conditions. 

Since ideal soil conditions are not always found below the surface, constructing a mound above the ground allows the soil conditions to be properly fabricated. Call the professionals at Creed Septic System Specialists today!
