Greenlawn’s soil conditions vary significantly and directly impact cesspool system design and installation requirements. Sandy soils common in coastal areas require larger distribution systems to prevent rapid groundwater infiltration, while clay soils need modified designs that prevent system backup during wet weather periods.
Soil percolation testing determines absorption rates that affect system sizing and design specifications. This testing is required for permit approval and helps us design a system that will function properly in your specific soil conditions for decades.
Long Island’s seasonal water table changes also affect installation depth and drainage design. We account for these local conditions in every installation, ensuring your system handles both dry summer conditions and wet spring periods without performance issues.
