Harrisville RI Septic System Upgrade for Home Expansion

Harrisville, RI – March 2025

As more families choose to expand rather than relocate, existing septic systems often need an upgrade to match the home’s growing demands. That was the case in Harrisville this March, where a customer was adding bedrooms to their home, triggering the need for a septic system alteration to accommodate the increased daily flow.

Our team began by carefully locating and excavating the existing underground septic components. With everything exposed and mapped out, we moved on to trenching for a new line of flow diffusers, these help evenly disperse effluent into the soil, which is critical when expanding the leaching area. We then connected the new trench into the existing system, ensuring seamless functionality and code compliance.

Once the system was in place and inspected, we backfilled the area, spread screened loam, raked it out smoothly, and prepped the site for hydroseeding. The result is a clean, functional landscape ready to flourish come spring, along with a future-ready septic system that supports the growing household.
