The selection of septic tanks for a summer residence or a private house is an important household task. The installation should serve for a long time, coping well with its function. We will analyze which option is better if the groundwater is at a high level. Features of the installation of prefabricated structures and options for the construction of septic tanks using various materials in complicated geological conditions.
Small treatment facilities for private households or summer cottages differ in a number of parameters, they are divided into the following types:
Industrially manufactured septic tanks are able to filter effluent to such a high quality that industrial water is obtained at the outlet without the need for additional post-treatment. These units require a power connection to operate as they are equipped with air compressors. Their price is quite high, but such expenses cannot be called unreasonable.
Positive feedback from the owners was earned by the Tank septic tanks with a deep biological treatment system. The installation is characterized as unpretentious, not requiring intervention in the work.
Storage septic tanks represent the tank made of material, steady against biologically active agents. From time to time, you will have to resort to forced pumping.
The design has a number of advantages, these are:
Septic tanks, involving filter fields, have a multi-chamber device, purify drains by about 75%. For its post-treatment, a drainage system is arranged from pipelines with special holes. Water gets through them on a cushion of rubble and sand. The system is built on the ability of the soil to self-purify. Such septic tanks do not require pumping. But for the arrangement of filtration fields and calculation of their area, many points must be taken into account, for example:
According to the recommendations of experts, it is impossible to organize such a post-treatment drainage system if the distance between groundwater and pipes is less than 1 m. Therefore, in areas with a complicated geological picture, it is necessary to resort to the services of professionals.
Important! You can not neglect the rules and technical recommendations when installing any septic tank on your site. Sewer drains can pollute groundwater in a short time. Household negligence can lead to a local environmental disaster.
For the production of septic tanks and their independent design, they are mainly used:
Modern industrial septic tanks are made plastic. The tanks are equipped with stiffeners, the material is highly resistant to biologically aggressive environments. Penetration of liquid from such reservoirs into the environment is practically excluded.
The construction of Astra-3 polypropylene, used mainly for country houses, has earned flattering reviews from the owners. It is characterized by the owners as an installation that gives urban comfort in the field. Consumers write that maintenance is required once a year.
With proper installation, a plastic septic tank is suitable for areas with a close occurrence of groundwater. But for such terrain, it is better to avoid structures made of concrete rings or bricks. The prefabricated material cannot provide the necessary sealing. What threatens with the ingress of liquid from the septic tank into the soil and the flow of melt or groundwater inside. This is fraught with disruption of the ecosystem and pumping out the contents too often.
Monolithic device concrete septic tank is associated with a number of difficulties. Reinforcement, a solid foundation, formwork, cement mixture will be required. The technology is complex, time-consuming and costly in finance. But on the other hand, tightness is ensured, the design is very durable.
metal containers for an independent device of septic tanks are used quite often. It can be barrels or tanks. They are recommended to be treated with anti-corrosion substances both outside and inside. The advantages of septic tanks from metal tanks are the relative ease of installation, relatively low weight. Cons: short life and limited volume.
The most comprehensive information on this issue will be provided by geological surveys carried out at the site. It is worth ordering such a service if other construction work is being carried out simultaneously with the sewerage device. However, if a small country house is bought, expensive methods of studying the soil are impractical.
You can do simple research yourself. It is better to conduct them in the spring, after the snow melts, when the groundwater level is maximum. To do this, at different points of the site (for accuracy and reliability), observation wells are drilled at least 1.5 m deep. If there is a well on the site, you can measure the water level in it. It would be useful to interview neighbors, people who have lived nearby for a long time have probably come across this pressing issue.
The latter method, no matter how archaic it may seem, gives an objective idea of the desired depth of groundwater. You need to look at the vegetation on the site. This method has been used since ancient times. It is based on a simple principle - grass with juicy fleshy leaves or stems on a dry (at first glance) site is a sure sign of close groundwater. Plants-indicators of the location of underground veins at a depth of only 0.5-1 m:
The container must be sealed. Even small holes and cracks will serve as a source of groundwater pollution. Choosing a plastic option is the right balanced approach in difficult geological conditions. In this case, the ideal solution would be to purchase an industrially manufactured septic tank that has passed factory tests. The choice of a specific model, technological complexity and volume depends on private needs. So, in the country, where they do not live permanently, they do not install a complex sewer system of a large volume. And for a cottage, the most serious approach is needed, even if it is associated with financial costs.
You need to take care of the correct installation of the septic tank. The close occurrence of groundwater can lead to heaving, pushing the reservoir to the surface of the earth. This accident will lead to a rupture of the sewer system, mechanical damage to the pipeline and a violation of the integrity of the septic tank itself. To prevent these consequences, it is recommended to install it on a concrete base. When pouring such a slab, it is necessary to provide it with lugs made of bent reinforcement. A septic tank is attached to them with cables, nylon ropes, slings.
Advice. If it is planned to install minimal sanitary equipment in the house, for example, in the country, a simple solution to the problem may be to equip the drive without burying it in the soil.
The sewerage device is always associated with earthworks. In conditions of high location of groundwater, this can be difficult. It is recommended to carry out all manipulations during the dry period, when underground water veins dry out as much as possible. But this is not always possible. In difficult cases, you have to work while standing in liquid mud or water. Then you need to resort to the use of a drainage pump.
Whatever material or design of the septic tank is chosen, special attention must be paid to its installation. Each of us is responsible for the cleanliness and preservation of the environment. We must not forget about the danger of its pollution by sewage.
If there is a high level of groundwater in a private area, the arrangement of an autonomous sewage system inevitably causes several rather serious problems at once. However, this does not mean that the owners of houses located on such soils cannot have a complete wastewater collection and treatment system. To equip it, it is enough to fulfill a number of conditions that ensure the functionality of the equipment and the safety of the environment.
In the vast majority of cases, this device is used to equip autonomous sewage systems. A septic tank is two or more tanks, each of which provides a wastewater treatment process. For example, the simplest option with two separated wells works like this. Effluent, getting into the first tank, under the influence of gravity is divided into solid sediment and liquid. The latter is discharged through the bypass collector into the next tank, from where it is pumped out or goes into the ground through the drainage.
It is due to the fact that in some areas the level of soil moisture is quite high, this configuration of the septic tank is unacceptable. Why - described in the next subsection of this material. But in such cases, you should not be too upset. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to install a septic tank in problem areas, although this is associated with additional costs and, more importantly, with special conditions that must be met.
What problems do groundwaters have with them, which are located high enough in a particular area? And by the way, how much is it - high or low? Indeed, some sources claim that soil moisture is not deep - this is when it is found at a meter distance from the surface of the site. Others say that even three and a half meters is “high”, unsuitable for arranging a wastewater collection system, water.
In practice, everything is much simpler and clearer - if the installation depth of the septic tank (the pillow under its bottom) is at a level below the upper surface of the ground moisture, then the site is definitely problematic in this regard.
What happens if you install the wrong septic tank in such an area? There are only four main problems:
To avoid all these problems, you need, first of all, to choose the right septic tank.
There are only a few conditions for choosing in such cases. The most important of them is the complete tightness of all tanks, from the receiving one to the storage one. Such a system will not allow wastewater to mix with the natural moisture present in the soil, which, as already described above, leads to quite serious problems.
The second condition is the sufficient strength of the septic tank so that it can be fixed in the ground. This process is called anchoring, and it solves the problem of heaving of the soil in winter, when the expanding mass of soil tends to push the equipment to the surface.
And, finally, the third condition, although not as categorical as the previous two, is that it is desirable to equip problem areas with fully functional treatment facilities - the so-called VOCs. In such equipment, wastewater is almost completely cleaned, which means that the risk of environmental pollution and drinking water is reduced to zero.
If on your site the groundwater is above the level of installation of sewage treatment equipment, then this process must be accompanied by the following requirements:

ABOUT the lack of a sewer system forces the owners of suburban dwellings to install autonomous treatment facilities. Their functioning depends on many parameters, including the proximity of the passage of groundwater. Their close occurrence complicates the creation of treatment facilities. At the same time, suitable ones with a high level of groundwater are selected, which are adapted to such conditions.
With an increased passage of water arteries underground, quite complex treatment structures can be mounted.
It is possible to calculate the location of underground currents in the territory in spring when snow melts or after long rains in autumn.
To independently find out the depth of underground arteries, you will need the following tools:
After drilling a well, it must be left for a day. During this time, water will appear in it. Then the water level is measured with a rod. Marks are made on it in advance, which indicate centimeters. After that, for several days, observations are made of the water level, if it does not change, then this is an indicator of the presence of water underground.
An important criterion in the selection of a treatment plant is tightness. Factory-produced plastic containers fully satisfy such requests.
Installation of such a design is laborious. At the same time, a pit is dug out and all the necessary containers are placed in it.
Since groundwater can push the treatment structure up, it is necessary to secure the septic tank well. In this case, a pillow is made of concrete, and then a container is attached to it.
Useful information! For a territory with a close passage of groundwater, equipment with three chambers is used. In the first tank, primary cleaning will be performed, and in the remaining two, post-treatment will be performed.
Septic tanks for summer cottages with a high level of groundwater are best installed in the autumn-summer period. For laying you need to make a pit. In this case, it is necessary to accurately determine the height of the base and the container. The structure should be secured with cables. The trench must be made at a distance of six meters from the foundation.
When groundwater is high, a drainage pipe is laid, and sand is poured to the bottom. A concrete slab must be installed on top.
Before filling the sand-cement composition, it is necessary to connect the structure with the filtration fields. In this case, special couplings are used that improve the tightness.
Useful advice! The lid of the treatment plant must be above the ground line. This will prevent melt and rainwater from getting inside. In winter, it is recommended to cover the cover with thermal insulation boards.
When placing groundwater near the surface, you can try to create septic tanks for a private house with your own hands. For their laying, brick or concrete rings are used.
The following points should be taken into account in the work:
The simplest septic tank can be made with your own hands from plastic containers. You can use Eurocube. In this case, the containers must be connected with special pipes through which waste liquids will move. Finished chambers must be coated with special waterproofing.
Useful information! To create a sealed structure will allow the installation of a monolithic well made of reinforced concrete.

You can create a solid septic tank from concrete rings with your own hands. The diagram shows all the main stages of installation.
Before proceeding to the installation, you need to calculate and plan everything. At the same time, it is worth determining where the structure of the tanks will be located. This takes into account the following points:
For laying concrete elements, special equipment will be required. You may need a crane and a truck. After the calculations, three pits are made, which should be 10-12% larger than the rings. The bottom of the first two trenches is equipped with concrete pads, which are aligned horizontally. The bottom of the third recess should be deeper than the rest. Crushed stone and sand are poured into it.
Rings before installation are treated with a bitumen composition. With the help of special equipment, concrete elements are placed inside. All joints are treated with liquid glass.
It is also worth digging trenches for connecting sewer lines. At the entry points to the rings, sealing is carried out using fittings and sealants.
After curing hermetic lubricants, sewer manholes are installed. Processed with bituminous mastic. Wells are insulated with stone wool and polystyrene foam.
The distance between the well and the soil is covered with earth. You can also use clay for better waterproofing. From above, blind areas are made of concrete to remove sedimentary flows.

The autonomous Topas septic tank is well suited for areas with a high level of groundwater. It is he who is chosen by many owners of suburban areas. The point is the variety of advantages of this equipment:
Suitable devices can also be found in the Unilos Astra range. Their features are as follows:
Eco Grand septic tanks have a biological waste treatment system. You can use them both regularly and periodically. This does not affect the degree of waste treatment.
System advantages:
When you have to choose a septic tank for a summer cottage, a high level of groundwater can become a hindrance. Therefore, experts recommend choosing not storage systems, but autonomous ones.
The choice is made based on how many people will need to be served. For example, if they live in a country house only in summer and no more than 3 people, you can purchase a septic tank with a tank up to 5 cubic meters in volume. It is clear that for continuous use of the device for a year or for more people, you need to choose a system with a large reservoir volume.
Important! Most importantly, with a high level of groundwater, the system should have a forced release of water. In other words, you should opt for septic tank models with a pump. Thanks to this, purified water will be discharged to the surface of the soil, which means that groundwater will not enter the device.
In addition, you need to pay attention to the following factors:
When choosing, it is important to seek the advice of specialists. It is they who will be able to advise a septic tank adapted to the Russian climate, purifying waste up to 98%, without an unpleasant smell and sounds.
Some people do not want to install septic tanks on the site just because they do not want to spoil the appearance of the territory. However, experts have found a way out of the situation here. After installing the cleaning system, you can give it the look of a beautiful alpine slide! And the problem is solved.
Important nuances:
Only a specialist can take into account all the important points. Therefore, do not engage in amateur activities. It is necessary to involve professionals in the installation of a septic tank!
