Septic own hands for a country house or villa

Many residents of private homes and cottages, as well as the owners of the villas, within which there is no central sewerage, anyway faced with the construction of a septic tank with his hands - drain hole to reset waste water, crowded with all sorts of filth.Many of the building is in the old building, which leads to frequent or periodic pumping construction of a new drain hole.And the first pumping, as is well known to many, leads to an endless series of appeals to the service vacuum trucks - something was broken in the process of removal of moisture and the soil ceases to absorb water.

Thus, you become a hostage to the constant pumping of water, and cleaning are absolutely not helping.Many have resorted to all sorts of tricks: increase the absorbability of the water area by punching more pits deeper into the pit, others use the pit wall as an additional layer to absorb water, but it is all in vain.It takes three to four years, and the pit clogged.

The modern version of the drain hole, called septic tank, can serve almost forever.The main thing is to properly build their septic

arms for private homes and in the process not to disdain the old "old-fashioned" ideas.Are you ready?Then let's go.

First dig a pit - the pit.You should not be introduced in the wilds of calculation of its volume, in any case, well-organized treatment of water in a new septic tank is able to reduce the volume of the pit almost to a minimum.How much you spend per day of water?Cube and a half - I am sure that these figures far exceed your day water consumption.But on the left space in the pit still need to take care of, and the optimal amount of septic tanks will be eight cubes pit having dimensions of 2 * 2 * 2 meters depth.You can increase the size at will suffer from it will not.Personally, I stopped at twelve bottoms pit with dimensions of 2 * 2.5 * 2,5metra depth.In short, to determine the size of the hole, we start the construction of the pit.While

hired diggers osilivayut pit, you can prepare the formwork.This will require the sheets osb, beams and trim plastic sewer pipe.To think in advance all desirable.To increase the area of ​​the water absorbability of the septic tank into the ground, in the formwork is necessary to provide for diverting the water into the ground holes - for this purpose also need pruning sewer pipes.The sheets osb steps 20-30cm cut out round holes equal to the diameter of the sewer pipe (100mm).

Taking into account the fact that osb - the material is still not very hard and has a decent flexibility, it should be strengthened.Along the perimeter of the sheet with the help of screws fasten timber (20x30 or 30x40mm enough), every two feet add vertical stiffeners.Such sheets you will need to cook for at least half of the drain hole on its two sides.Formwork in this case it is better to make collapsible, so that later no problem to connect it to the remaining two walls septic tank - acting individually must not only adjacent wall, but the wall itself must be disassembled into two parts.It is more convenient to assemble and disassemble the casing.

It is important to reinforce the formwork to pour concrete crushed form and is not brought "out" all your work.Again, this will require a timber with which the formwork should be firmly rasklinit in the pit.When the wooden panels have already been installed and firmly fixed in position, insert a plastic sleeve.We are talking about scraps sewer pipe - passing through the hole in the formwork, they must be driven into the ground at least five centimeters.Otherwise, heavy concrete knock them and pour out through the hole in the formwork.

concreting drain hole

first preparations for construction septic tank for the garden or country house own hands are finished and you are ready to concrete pouring - concrete mixer useful in handy.Manually with the volume of concrete you simply can not cope.

For those who do not know how to mix concrete, not a sin to ask his "recipe": two parts sand, two small fraction of gravel and one part cement - all this must be mixed with water.

Not superfluous will and fittings - reinforced concrete is much stronger than conventional concrete.In principle, virtually all of the bound metal can be used instead.Pipes is better to exclude from the list and stop at corners and fittings.

After pouring the first half of the pit, give a couple of days to dry concrete, and dismantle the formwork with subsequent rearrangement of the remaining two walls.Then everything is repeated again.

Beating wall, proceed to the construction of internal bulkheads septic tank - pit to be divided into two parts (can be equal).The first is to gather in all the solid sewage and sludge (sludge pollutes it all ducts in the ground and brings down the pit).The second part of the pit through a built pier will flow spaced from the sludge and solid waste water, which will be absorbed safely into the soil without clogging it.

Construct a partition can be made of concrete and brick.More important here is to correctly observe the height of the overflow.Overflow better organize at 30-40 cm below the level of the drain pipe coming out of the house - in this place, in the water, is less than all the sludge.Ideally overflow outlet must be equipped with sewer tee, to defend the water enters the overflow is not straight, but as if from the bottom.

How to extend the life of the drain pit - septic tank overflow

made, like septic tank for summer residence or holiday home ready.But do not run it.

To prolong service life of a septic tank, can now resort to "old-fashioned" ideas.There is a folk instrument called the bailer - is sharpened otrez thick tube equipped with a long handle.With his help, you need to break ground in the depth of the pits is not less than two meters.Subsequently, these pits are covered with fine mesh (not clogged) and on top of it at the bottom of the pit is filled with large rubble.It turns out some kind of drainage, allowing water to freely leave the ground.

important factor affecting the performance of the well, is its ventilation.All the same sewer pipe leading to the surface, the water will not only be absorbed into the ground, but also partly evaporate.

That's only now we started to approach the finish line of our work.The pit should be closed, and it must be done so that the top of it you can grow tomatoes or even lawn grass, and at the same time, it is necessary to leave access for possible cleaning of your buildings.Help comes all the same concrete.We put stiffeners of the powerful sill or corner, cover board.To access scavengers leave the rectangular hole directly above the two halves of the pit immediately.Now you can fill "lid" of the pit.Without concrete reinforcement can not do - perhaps over it you will go and work in the garden.You do not want to one day cover is cracked and fell into a pit?

That's basically all.If you resort to the use of modern biological products, you can avoid the periodic cleaning of the drain hole of the mud and filth of all kinds.Tablet or a liquid, which rushes to the bottom of the septic tank, able to put all the solid impurities and turn them into the water, and she, in turn, smoothly absorbed into the soil and does not pollute it.

Remember that the complex process of construction of a septic tank with his hands can not be made alone, so it's better to ask for help of their friends, relatives or hire a team in the end.Good luck to you!
