Healthy drainfields are crucial for the overall functionality of your septic system!

A drainfield, also known as a leach field, is responsible for the final treatment of the wastewater that leaves your septic tank. It consists of a series of perforated pipes buried underground, allowing the effluent to percolate into the soil. However, if the drainfield becomes clogged or damaged, it can lead to backups, foul odors, and costly repairs. Don’t worry though, Double Flush has your back with tips and tricks to understand maintaining a healthy drainfield.

Regular Pumping:

Schedule regular septic tank pumping with Double Flush Septic Services to prevent solids from clogging the drainfield. This ensures proper drainage and prevents backups.

Water Conservation:

Minimize water usage to prevent overloading the drainfield. Fix leaks promptly and avoid running multiple water-using appliances simultaneously.

Landscaping Maintenance:

Keep the grass above your drainfield area short to allow for better evaporation and prevent root intrusion into the pipes. Better yet, consider alternative landscaping to keep your drainfield area easily accessible. Ensure that you avoid parking over or storing any heavy objects on or near your drainfield. This causes soil compaction and potential issues with pipes!

Chemical Usage:

Use septic-safe cleaning products to avoid harming the beneficial bacteria in the septic system. These bacteria break down waste in the tank and help keep the drainfield healthy.
