If you\u2019re new to living with a septic system, you may not completely understand the different parts and what they do. Our team at Quality Septic Inc. of Plant City, FL, wants to help you take the best possible care of your system and to do that, you need to know a little bit about how it works.<\/p>\n

\"drainIn this article, we\u2019ll focus on one of the very important parts of a septic system called the drain field.<\/a> This is a basic overview of how drain fields work, what they do and how they contribute to keeping the drains and toilets in your home running smoothly.<\/p>\n

What is a drain field?<\/h2>\n

To put it simply, a drain field is a network of pipes that connect to a septic tank. The pipes slope downward and away from the tank, spreading outward as they go. Holes are cut into the sides of the pipes and are filled with a porous material such as gravel.<\/p>\n

What a drain field does<\/h2>\n

Drain fields are used to manage the liquid waste that comes out of septic tanks, eliminating impurities before the water rejoins the natural water table.
\nWithout a drain field, your septic tank would simply overflow, leaving you with quite a disaster including foul-smelling and hazardous runoff in your yard. Coincidentally, as the Quality Septic team knows first-hand, this is exactly what happens when the drain field is blocked.<\/p>\n

With a functioning drain field, though, wastewater flows smoothly out of your tank and through the pipe network. Wastewater then goes through filtration and treatment before ultimately being released back into the ground. The drain field also prevents wildlife from ingesting wastewater before it is filtered properly.<\/p>\n

Maintaining a drain field<\/h2>\n

Wherever you live, if you have a septic system with a drain field, you should rely on licensed septic professionals for regular inspections and periodic repair work should it become necessary. Much of the drain field repair projects we undertake could have been prevented had the homeowner followed these tips:<\/p>\n
