When assessing the risks associated within the sewage disposal system industry there are numerous things to consider.
Below, we have outlined several of the most important factors and what we do to manage that risk for our business and yours.
Homeowner Awareness
Imagine purchasing something that costs you anywhere from 8—40,000
dollars and receiving no instruction on how to operate and maintain that product. What exposure does that open the doors to
for your company? We think too much and produced a system specific Operations & Maintenance Manual for each and every
homeowner. This manual gives the homeowner the necessary knowledge to protect and maintain their system and the builder peace
of mind knowing he has fully informed his client.
Pre-Construction Involvement
Communication,
Communication & more Communication! With so many stringent restrictions on clearing the field area to when and under what
conditions to install the system it is more important than ever for clear communication between all subcontractors. We install
safety fence around the Drainfield and post signage stating “Keep Off”. The significance of all subs adhering
to this is crucial. In a lot of cases the field could be damaged if subs store materials, drive machinery on or otherwise
disturb the soils. The implications for you could be as drastic as not being able to install the system at all! Then what?
Clearing
Most alternative systems have to be hand cleared and the stumps ground.
We purchased a low impact stump grinder to accommodate those needs.
Weather
In most cases
the system has to be installed under dry conditions. Without being able to control the weather itself we came up with an alternative
solution. Once the site is prepped for the system, if installation is not immediately possible, we cover the field with plastic
and have large commercial sized fans for drying out if needed. This helps our builders & homeowners stay on schedule and
reduce the risk of jeopardizing closing dates.
Installation
Drainfield Solutions is a proud
member of VOWRA (Virginia Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association) & NOWRA (National
Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association) and have attended countless seminars and training sessions throughout the year. This
enables our company to stay abreast of changes to current systems and also the latest advances in our industry – we
have achieved, and are able to maintain, an impeccable reputation.
Hiring a knowledgeable respected installer is
how you can best manage your risk, we can handle the rest!
