There Are Several Things To Consider With A New Septic Drain Field Installation

Septic drain field installation is a fairly straight forward project but there are certain things that will need to be considered as they can seriously affect the performance and longevity of your drain field.

We need to consider the slope of your property.  If you have a property that is on a slope or has raised areas or dips in the land then it can be more difficult for drain field installation.  We need to consider the type of soil that is present as some soils can make drainage more difficult.  We'll be able to figure out exactly what you need for a new drain field installation and will make recommendations that will be specific to your property.

Signs Your Septic Drain Field Needs Some Attention:

  • Pooling of water on your drain field
  • Foul, sewage odors coming from the drain field
  • Sewage backup coming into your inside drains
  • Needing to pump your tank more frequently than normal

Common Reasons Your Septic Drain Field Might Fail:

There are many reasons a septic drain field can fail and would need replacement or repairs.

#1.  If you have driven over the drain field with a vehicle or any heavy equipment you can actually damage the piping by crushing it or cracking it.  This can damage and clog the dispersal field and is a common reason for replacement.

#2.  Allowing brush, trees, or plants to grow overtop of the septic drain field.  The root systems of plants love to infiltrate the pipes in your septic field to get at the nitrogen rich wastewater.  If this is ignored over a period of a few years it can damage the drain field and cause it too fail.

#3.  Not using an effluent filter in your septic tank can allow solids to flow through the tank and into your distribution box and into your septic drain field.  When the drain field becomes clogged it can no longer disperse of the wastewater which leads to system backups and ultimately damage to the system.

#4.  A lack of maintenance can also result in the drain field becoming overwhelmed with solids, clogging the system and causing it too fail.  It's a smart move to have your septic tank pumped out of all solids at least every 3-5 years.  This interval can vary depending on how the system is used and we can provide you with a good interval for your specific system after an inspection of your system.
