Drain field basics

What Is a Septic Drain Field?

A septic drain field, also called a drain field or leach field, is an essential part of your septic system. After solids settle in your tank, liquid wastewater flows out through a septic drain field pipe system and filters into the soil through underground drain field lines. These pipes allow the effluent to be naturally treated and absorbed, protecting your property and the environment.

How a drain field works

Septic drain field pipes release effluent into gravel-filled trenches.

Drain field lines distribute wastewater evenly across the field.

The soil acts as a natural filter, removing harmful bacteria and pollutants before the water reaches the groundwater table.

Pump Your Tank RegularlyPump your septic system every 3 to 5 years to reduce the load on your septic drain field and prevent backups.

Watch What Goes Down the DrainAvoid using grease, wipes, harsh cleaners, or any other substances that disrupt the natural balance of bacteria. These can lead to septic drain field problems.

Protect the Drain Field AreaDon’t drive or park on your drain field. Compacting the soil can crush pipes or damage drain field lines.

Divert Runoff WaterKeep rainwater and gutter drainage away from the drain field to avoid oversaturation.

Plant WiselyUse shallow-rooted plants over your septic drain field. Avoid trees or shrubs with aggressive roots that can break through drain field pipes.
