Farm Properties Have Their Own Septic Quirks
Older farmhouses around Goshen were often added on to over the years: a new bathroom here, an apartment over the garage there. Sometimes the septic system was never expanded to match. If a property has more bedrooms or plumbing than the system was designed for, the field works harder than it should.
Heavy equipment is the other farm-country risk. Trucks, trailers and tractors crossing a drain field compact the soil and can crush lines. If you don't know exactly where your field is, find out and keep traffic off it.
Requests Around Goshen

Questions from Goshen
Can one septic system serve my house and an apartment?
Only if it was designed for the total number of bedrooms and the flow. Adding a unit usually means checking the system's capacity, and possibly expanding it with a permit.
