Understanding Your Drain Field

The drain field (also called leach field) is the final and crucial stage of your septic system. After wastewater leaves the tank, it flows into the drain field where it percolates into the soil, getting naturally treated as it passes through layers of earth.

When a drain field fails or becomes compromised, it affects your entire septic system. Common causes of drain field problems include soil compaction, root intrusion, excessive water usage, and natural degradation over time.
