What Are Drain Fields For?

If your property is in a rural or raised area and is far away from or not connected to the sewer mains, then having a septic system is the most feasible option. Any proper septic system should have a drain field so that the whole system can function optimally. But what exactly is a drain field, and how can an expert in septic and lift station pumping in Las Vegas, NV help?

What Do Drain Fields Do?

Drain fields are responsible for dispersing the wastewater that has gone through the septic tank for treatment. Along with a sewage ejector pump, drain fields together with the septic tank itself all work together to make sure that you never have to worry about issues such as clogging, overflows, and the like.

Regular drain field and lift station cleaning are one of the most efficient ways to help ensure that your septic system as a whole functions as it should. It’s best to get these services done by a professional contractor, as drain fields have a delicate system that should not be disturbed.

Common Issues

Like wastewater disposal components such as the sewage lift ejector, drain fields are also susceptible to issues that come with the job. Keep an eye out for damage that can be due to tree root intrusions, damage due to excessive pressure (especially when your drain field is installed below a parking space), excessive rainfall (the excessive amount of rainfall can saturate the drain field and affect how it processes wastewater), among other things.

Should you come across any issues that only require inspection and a cleaning, don’t think twice about getting in touch with our drain field and lift station maintenance team so that we can have a look.
