Answer 5 quick questions and we'll identify your system type — plus give you a maintenance checklist matched to your system.
Question 1 of 5
Older homes almost always have conventional systems. Newer homes in areas with poor soil may have advanced systems.
A mound system has a clearly visible raised area — usually 2 to 4 feet above the surrounding ground.
Conventional gravity systems have zero electrical components. If you see a panel or alarm box, you have an active system.
Aerobic systems have an aerator that runs continuously. Mound systems have a dosing pump that cycles on and off.
Good draining soil supports conventional systems. Clay, rock, or high water tables often require mound or aerobic systems.
