The dynamic technologies of our time have made it possible to develop by now the following types of septic tanks – concrete, brick, eurocubic and metal. Basically, metal-type septic tanks are a special kind of treatment plant, which is characterized by complete tightness. However, their disadvantage is still attributed to sensitivity to aggressive manifestations of the environment. So such treatment facilities are not characterized by the required durability, as a result of which they fail very quickly.
Brick septic tanks were more widespread, and they were used in the installation of treatment systems of houses located outside the city. Brick was the basis not only for the construction of the cesspool, but also for the entire structure of the chamber system. In this case, it will be important to note that such structures are again not able to meet the proper service life, since periodic contact with moisture led to the deformation of bricks and cement.
In all its diversity, the best septic tank for a summer residence is a concrete septic tank. Among the distinguishing features of this design, quite significant dimensions stand out, which in turn excluded the possibility of a septic tank surfacing. It should be noted that the impressive weight of the concrete system is both a plus and a minus, since a device of such a design involves high costs, which is not always justified.
Nevertheless, today’s building materials market is able to offer materials that differ in greater efficiency, moreover, capable of competing with more traditional. So, modern material is a Eurocubic septic tank. The construction of such structures involves significant costs, but the result will pay for itself in full.
