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 drainfield 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doubleflush came out twice to pump.   My socks in tank needed replaced.  They recommended ASI who completely ruined my system when they cleaned the socks. Then double flush recommend wires from septic be brought above ground and recommended a electrician who completely screwed the electrical with the septic. I feel that once I ripped ASI on review- double flush was purposely causing issues. Never using again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott was timely and extremely professional and personable. Our home was having backflow issues so we needed a flush quickly and Double Flush was able to accommodate. Scott followed up with us afterwards, explained the work that he did, and made sure we didn’t have any other questions. Price was reasonable as well. Highly recommend this company.
