,For over 30 years, Schaefer Grading and Excavating has been family-owned and -operated by Darrell Schaefer. We specialize in the design and installation of privately-owned, on-site wastewater treatment systems. ,We are also able to satisfy the need for specialized grading and excavation for any type of new construction or existing projects., ,A mound is a covered, above-grade wastewater treatment system. It also recycles the treated water back into the environment. The mound receives septic tank effluent, which is distributed by a pressurized pipe network in the mound over a layer of coarse sand for treatment before traveling into the soil under the mound. The system is useful for sites with shallow groundwater, or those with slowly permeable soils. The mound system follows your septic tank and adds an additional pump chamber. Septic tanks with soil absorption systems are the most commonly used wastewater treatment systems in rural and suburban areas. Schaefer Grading and Excavating is your reliable source for laying the groundwork for your septic tank system.,A certified soil tester will complete a detailed analysis of your soil characteristics, along with other site limitations, including setbacks, slopes, etc., to determine the type of system required for your lot. ,The soil tester is looking for a depth to a “limiting factor,” such as high groundwater or high bedrock. The current Wisconsin administrative code ILHR 83 mandates a 3-foot vertical separation between the bottom of the soil absorption system and high groundwater or high bedrock.,All septic systems will fail at one point, and you will have to replace the system regardless of what type of system you require. Schaefer Grading and Excavating is here to help you dig up and replace your sewer system., ,Some signs of a failing system include sewage backup into your home. However, a backup can also just be the result of a blockage somewhere in the line between your home and septic tank. Another possible sign of failure is the smell of sewage outside your house.,If the liquid effluent cannot soak into the soil surrounding the leach field, sewage may back up into the system and overflow into your house, or puddle on the surface of the ground. There are several potential causes for this problem, all of which we can help you with.
