How Our Process Works

You'll begin with a site assessment where we evaluate soil type, water table depth, and property layout to design a system that meets your household size and usage patterns. Our crew maps tank and drain field locations in Columbus, applying for permits and coordinating inspections before excavation begins.

Heart 7 Enterprises excavates trenches, sets tanks level, and connects inlet and outlet pipes using durable materials rated for underground conditions. We understand local regulations, soil requirements, and proper system design for long-term performance. You'll see each layer of gravel, pipe, and backfill placed according to engineered specifications.

After installation, we conduct pressure tests, verify slope angles, and restore topsoil to prepare your property for final landscaping. Our septic installations include tank and drain field replacement, system upgrades and repairs, and ongoing support if adjustments are needed.

How do you determine the right septic tank size?
You'll need a tank sized for your household's daily water use and bedroom count, typically ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 gallons for residential properties. We calculate capacity based on occupancy and fixture counts.

What happens if the soil doesn't pass percolation tests?
If your Columbus site has slow drainage or high clay content, we may recommend an engineered mound system or alternative drain field design. Soil amendments or alternate placement can also resolve percolation issues.

How long does a new septic system installation take?
Most installations take three to five days, including excavation, tank placement, pipe connections, and backfill. Permit approval and inspection scheduling can add a few weeks to the overall timeline.

Can you repair a drain field without replacing the tank?
Yes, if your tank remains structurally sound, we can excavate and replace the drain field alone. We inspect baffles, inlet pipes, and tank integrity before determining repair scope.

What maintenance does a septic system need?
You'll want to pump your tank every three to five years and avoid flushing non-biodegradable materials. Regular pumping prevents solids from clogging the drain field and extends system life.
