SEPTIC SYSTEMS
Septic systems are a wastewater treatment system that is installed underground. Septic systems are normally used in more rural areas that are without a local sewer treatment systems. A traditional septic system consists of a septic tank and a filter bed, or tile bed. Once the household wastewater enters the tank, the bacteria then breaks down the organic matter and separates the floatable materials and solids from the wastewater. The outlet of the tank then releases the liquid ( also known as effluent) from the septic's tank into a filter or tile bed.
WHAT IS A WATERLOO BIOFILTER?
The Waterloo Biofilter is an absorbent trickling biological filter used to treat sewage and other wastewaters from a variety of sources. The filter medium used in the Waterloo Biofilter has been specially engineered to optimize its physical characteristics so that high concentrations of beneficial microbes can inhabit it without plugging up. These naturally occurring bacteria thrive in the conditions created within the filter media where they degrade, oxidize and consume contaminants found in wastewater.
BENEFITS OF ICF FOUNDATIONS
Lower Energy Bills - homes with ICF Foundation walls require 44% less energy to heat and 32% less to cool, then a wood-framed house.
Greater Comfort and Quiet - you will notice less cold drafts and noise. The great mass of concrete in the walls can reduce sound penetration by more than 80%
Pest Proof - the materials used in ICF Foundations are unappealing to termites, carpenter ants and rodents.
Healthier Indoor Environment - ICF contains no organic material, so mold, mildew and other microorganisms won't support growth on it.
Fire Resistant - The plastic foam used in ICF won't add fuel to a fire, they are treated with a flame retardant to prevent them from burning.
Less Repair and Maintenance - ICF walls are made with a non-biodegradable material. They will not rot or deteriorate like untreated lumber.
WHAT IS SITE WORK?
The easiest way to explain site work is a part of the building process that is not the house’s physical structure.
