Chamber System

Currently we are NOT RECOMMENDING Chamber Systems.

We have seen problems developing with them and we have STOPPED using them.

I will add a page soon about EZflow (picture below) which is now approved for Indiana and is the product we are currently recommending.

Currently we are not too excited about the new Presby Enviro-Septic System either, a smaller system is just that, "a smaller system" in this game bigger is ALWAYS better.

Systems like Chambers and SB2 pipe are geared at the installer as being "Quick and Easy" but in my mind the homeowner's long term interest should come before my interest of having a good day at work. Now to be fair EZ flow is geared the same way but it is by no means as installer friendly as the systems mentioned previously and this hurts their sales. Most distributors don't want to handle EZ flow due to it's BULKY nature, it takes up a lot of space with a small profit margin. We take the pains to deliver what we feel is the best product currently available to use in Indiana.

 

 

Why do you NOT want Chambers???

This System is a DIRECT replacement for gravel and has good points like less soil compaction and no fines from gravel to plug soil,

BUT the fact of the plastic top not allowing vapor to move through has presented problems on some sites. Another factor that will likely show up in time is bio mat, a natural occurrence in systems that limits absorption into soil. With Chambers this is likely to form faster than with aggregate systems.

In Indiana Chambers are approved for a 25% reduction in field bed size over Gravel. The 40% reduction has been removed.

 

Never let ANYONE talk you into installing a REDUCED size system!!

 

 

The two most critical components to a
Successful system are Soil Identification and the
Proper Design of a system for that soil

Only use a VERY competent STATE APPROVED Soil Scientist to do your soil report,,,,,,,,,
We do have a recommendation for one.

If you have a system permitted and no layout flags on your site,,,, it is time to find a NEW contractor!!!

 

 

 

Trench Systems are used when you have better soils; they are very effective and the most cost efficient technology available now.

 

 

 

We are the only local company that can install your system with irregular trench lengths but you must have a flood dose system to do so.
This is a VERY useful ability when space is limited for a Field Bed.

A Perimeter Drain or Curtain Drain will lower your seasonal water table and is frequently required on your system.
