Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to install a new septic system in Greene County, NY?
Yes, New York State and Greene County require permits for new septic system installations and major repairs. A qualified contractor like Carr And Daughters can help you understand what's required and coordinate with the local health department on your behalf.
What is environmental abatement in the context of septic systems?
When a septic system fails and leaks untreated waste into the surrounding soil or groundwater, environmental abatement involves cleaning up and neutralizing that contamination. This can range from soil excavation and removal to treating affected ground with approved methods to restore safe conditions.
I own a vacation property in the Catskills that I only use in summer. How often should I have the septic pumped?
Even with limited use, most vacation properties should be pumped every three to five years. Leaving a tank partially full over long periods can allow sludge to harden, which makes eventual pumping more difficult and can damage components.
What's involved in a drain field repair or replacement?
Drain field repair typically involves excavating the saturated or failing area, removing old aggregate and piping, and installing new distribution lines in properly conditioned soil. In some cases, a full replacement requires a soil evaluation to find an appropriate new location on the property.
Can rocky or hilly terrain in the Catskills affect septic system installation?
Yes, the rocky and variable soil conditions common in Greene County can affect both the placement and design of a septic system. A contractor with excavation experience understands how to work with these conditions and design a system that meets both code and site requirements.
How do I know if my drain field is failing?
Common signs include soggy or smelly areas in your yard above the drain field, sewage odors near the ground surface, and backups or slow drains inside the home. An inspection can confirm whether the issue is the drain field itself or another part of the system.
