Thinking of building or buying a home in the country?
If your dream is to move out of the city for more room and outdoor space, there are vital issues that you should always consider!
If your dream is to move out of the city for more room and outdoor space, there are three vital issues that you should always consider: available drinking water, energy, and wastewater management.
When you have located that perfect piece of property – consult with an expert that can provide you insight into the steps you need to take before you try to build.
If you have found the perfect old homestead with the turn of the century farmhouse, consider that many of the systems in the house will be 50 – 75 years old or older including the water and wastewater systems.
Tallgrass Environmental can confidently provide you with the help to make your best decision on your greatest investment.
New to living in a house with an on-site wastewater system?
Living with an on-site wastewater system is much different than living inside the city. Let Tallgrass help you understand your needs!
If you’ve only lived in a home located inside of a city you have never had to worry about the wastewater that leaves your home.
A swoosh or flush and the issue is over – off to the local wastewater treatment facility.
Living rural is a different situation that you must be aware of. Depending on your specific situation you may have a buried system (septic tank and absorption field) or a surface system (wastewater lagoon). Both systems MUST be maintained in order for your home to function correctly.
Tallgrass Environmental has the expertise to help you understand EXACTLY what you need to do to keep your systems working properly for a lifetime.
There are no public water hookups where I want to build a house! How safe is well water?

Understanding what you have in the ground – where it’s located and how it is constructed is part of the process every homeowner should know. It is much less expensive to keep your system properly maintained than it is to have it erupt in your yard.
