A septic tank works as a primary treatment system for wastewater. Solids separate from the liquid effluent; heavier solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. Bacteria within the tank begin to break down these organic solids. The partially treated liquid effluent then flows out to the drain field for further purification by the soil. This biological process is fundamental to septic system function. We can explain more when you call.

A septic tank drain field, also known as a leach field, is a crucial component where the liquid effluent from the septic tank is dispersed into the soil for final treatment. It typically consists of a network of perforated pipes laid in gravel-filled trenches. The soil's microorganisms filter and purify the wastewater before it reaches groundwater. Proper functioning of the drain field is essential for preventing groundwater contamination and system backups. We can help with drain field services.
