What should be ensured during installation to avoid liner damage?

Keeping the area free of debris is essential during the installation of a septic system to ensure the liner remains undamaged. Debris such as rocks, sharp tools, or construction materials can puncture or tear the liner if they come into contact with it. The risk of damage significantly increases if the installation site is cluttered, making vigilant site management crucial to the installation process. By maintaining a clean work environment, installers can better protect the integrity of the liner, which is vital for the overall functionality and longevity of the septic system.

In contrast, using heavy machinery around the liner could exert significant pressure and increase the likelihood of damaging it. Omitting a protective layer increases vulnerability to potential harm from the environment or during handling. Moreover, having multiple workers step on the liner can create stress points that could lead to tears or punctures. Ensuring a clean installation site helps mitigate these risks effectively.
