The drain field is a critical component of your septic system, responsible for filtering and dispersing treated wastewater into the soil.

A properly designed and installed drain field can last 20-30 years or more with proper maintenance. However, drain fields can fail due to age, poor maintenance, soil conditions, or system overload. When drain field problems occur, they require prompt attention from experienced professionals who understand soil science, hydraulics, and local regulations.

Types of Drain Field Systems
Conventional Gravity System
The most common and cost-effective option, using gravity to distribute effluent through perforated pipes in gravel-filled trenches. Best for properties with suitable soil and adequate space.
Pressure Distribution System
Uses a pump to evenly distribute effluent throughout the drain field, ideal for properties with challenging soil conditions or limited space. Provides better treatment and longer system life.
Mound System
Built above ground level when soil depth or water table issues prevent conventional installation. Sand and gravel mound provides additional treatment before effluent reaches native soil.
Chamber System
Uses plastic chambers instead of gravel, providing more efficient drainage and easier installation. Good option for areas with limited gravel availability or difficult access.
