FAQ'S
FAQ'S
What will my system look like?
What will my system look like?
Your septic system will typically consist of a buried, watertight septic or treatment tank connected to your home’s plumbing and a drainfield (if applicable) where treated wastewater is slowly dispersed into the ground. The tank separates solids from liquids while bacteria break down waste, and the drainfield uses soil to naturally filter the effluent. Your system may also include a dose tank, which holds effluent and slowly disperses it to the drainfield throughout the day. You may have one of several type of drainfields based on your soil conditions, including leach lines, leach beds, mounds, drip systems, and spray. Some systems, called discharging or off lot systems, may not have a drainfield at all and discharge clean effluent into a drainage way. These systems are used where there is no available space or good soil for a drain field. Actual components and layout vary by design, soil conditions, and local code.
is there financial support avaliable?
is there financial support avaliable?
The Ohio EPA distributes financial assistance through grant funding to county health departments to help income-eligible homeowners cover the cost of septic system replacement or repair. Funding availability and structure vary by county: some counties may cover design and installation costs, while others may only help with installation, and the amount paid can depend on household income and eligibility criteria set by your local health department. To participate, you must apply directly to your county health department and be approved before work begins.

what will my mound look like?
what will my mound look like?
A mound or soil absorption septic system typically includes a raised sand and gravel mound with buried distribution laterals that evenly disperse treated wastewater into absorbent soil below. From above ground you’ll see a gently graded mound with access risers or lids for maintenance. The system is sized for your home and site conditions to ensure proper septic drainage and wastewater treatment.

I’m developing a property that needs septic. What should I do?
Work with an experienced Ohio septic designer like Cindaco as early as possible in the development process. Early septic planning helps determine lot configurations that can support on-site sewage treatment systems while meeting county health department and zoning requirements. Cindaco can coordinate required soil testing, evaluate site constraints, and ensure each lot has adequate space for a primary septic system and a designated replacement area, which must remain undisturbed for future use.

I’m buying a house with a septic system. What should I do?
Schedule a septic inspection with a qualified provider. Be aware that inspections on vacant homes may be limited, and some Ohio septic systems can be difficult to fully evaluate. Review county health department septic records to understand system history, but note that a passing inspection does not guarantee long-term performance. Consider household size and water usage, as increased flows can overload an existing system. Request septic maintenance records if available.

In many cases, funds are placed in escrow and the sales contract may be extended to allow time for septic work to be completed.

I’m a Realtor. What should I know about septic systems?
A passing county inspection does not always mean the septic system is in good condition. If a property is located in a septic area but listed as sewer on the MLS, verify the utility status with the local health department. Request county records and inspection reports to better understand the system’s history and potential future risks.
How big will my septic system be?
How big will my septic system be?
Septic system size is determined by several factors, including home size, soil conditions, lot layout, and Ohio septic regulations enforced by the local health department.
Can I plant trees on my septic system?
Can I plant trees on my septic system?
No. Trees and shrubs should be kept at least 20 feet away from septic tanks and soil absorption areas to prevent root damage. Only grass or shallow-rooted vegetation should be planted over the system.
How can I protect my new septic system?
How can I protect my new septic system?
Protect your investment by properly maintaining the landscape around the system, avoiding trees or shrubs near the drainfield, limiting bleach and antibacterial products, reducing garbage disposal use, and not connecting water softener discharge to the system. Maintain a service contract with a licensed provider and follow a regular septic pumping and maintenance schedule.
