How Do We Determine Where to Install a Drain Field?

Our team takes several factors into account to be sure a drain field is installed in the right spot for optimal performance and longevity.

Key considerations include:

• Soil suitability - Using a percolation test, our technicians evaluate the soil’s ability to absorb water. Proper drainage is essential for preventing oversaturation and maintaining the system's efficiency. 
• Distance and elevation - Drain fields must be a safe distance from structures like your home or business, as well as bodies of water. We typically install them at a lower elevation than the septic tank to use gravity for natural water flow. If this isn’t possible, we’ll recommend a septic pump.
• Landscaping factors - Tree roots and other landscaping elements can damage the drain field pipes. That is why we check a prospective drain field area for hazards that could put it at risk. 

What Issues Can a Malfunctioning or Improperly Installed Drain Field Cause?

An improperly installed or failing drain field can lead to a range of problems that disrupt your property and peace of mind. 

Common warning signs of trouble include:

• Pooling water near the drain field or septic tank
• Unpleasant odors from wastewater
• Slow drainage or backups in your plumbing
• Overly lush or bright green grass above the drain field
• Gurgling sounds in your pipes

How to Keep Your Septic Drain Field in Excellent Condition

Your drain field and entire septic system require ongoing care to perform optimally. So, how can you keep these essential features in working condition?

Consider the following:

Schedule Regular Maintenance

Routine septic tank pump-outs, typically every three to five years, are crucial for preventing clogs and ensuring wastewater is broken down properly. Coupled with professional septic system inspections, regular maintenance helps catch small problems before they become big ones.

Dispose of Waste Properly

Only flush and drain items that are septic-safe. Avoid flushing things like dental floss, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, medication, grease, or oils, as these can cause clogs and damage your system.

Be Mindful of Landscaping

Avoid planting trees, installing sprinklers, or adding structures near your drain field. Landscaping decisions should always account for the drain field’s operation and accessibility for servicing.

Sign Up for Automated Reminders

Acme Environmental offers automated reminders for routine septic maintenance, so you never miss a pump-out or inspection. Opt-in for peace of mind knowing your system is always up-to-date on care.
