FAQ
Drain Field Service questions
Why do drain fields fail?
The most common causes are solids escaping the tank because it wasn't pumped, too much water entering the system, roots, and vehicles driving over the lines.
Can a failing drain field be saved?
Sometimes. If it's caught early, repairs can restore it. Severely saturated or damaged fields usually need replacement.
How can I protect my drain field?
Pump your tank on schedule, spread out water use, keep vehicles and heavy equipment off it, and send roof runoff away from it.
