About Leach Field Installation

A leach field, also known as a drain field or leach drain, is the area that drains and disperses liquid waste from your septic tank.  A leach field’s main function is to properly remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges after anaerobic digestion in your septic tank.

A set of pipes, or “lines” work to disperse the wastewater underground, and are often surrounded by gravel or permeable soil.  When wastewater flows through the pipes, it leaches into the surrounding gravel or soil.   It’s important to note that only wastewater flows into the leach field, and not solid waste.  Your septic tank has a filter that catches solid waste, which is why your septic tank needs to be cleaned and pumped out regularly.
