SEPTIC SYSTEMS

Designed to treat and dispose of domestic sewage, on-site waste water disposal or septic systems have been installed in rural locations for centuries, and they currently serve approximately one-third of the households in the United States. Failure of a septic system is caused by the intermixing of the free-draining aggregate materials with the subgrade soil, which leads to clogging of the aggregate.

TYPAR® Geotextiles allow water to flow through to the drain field but prevent soil particles from passing, which prevents the system from clogging. With their use, septic systems are simple to design and inexpensive to construct.

TYPAR® Geocells are a unique new cellular confinement system that that can be used to protect property from flooding and sediment and erosion control.

Biobarrier® Root Control System prevents roots from intruding into septic systems.

Biobarrier® Weed Control System controls unwanted weed growth.

All TYPAR Geotextiles are made in the USA.
