DRAIN FIELD SERVICES

Expert drain field installation, repair, and replacement for optimal wastewater treatment and soil protection.

WHAT IS A DRAIN FIELD?

A drain field (also called a leach field or absorption field) is the underground network of perforated pipes that distributes treated wastewater from your septic tank into the soil. The soil acts as a natural filter, removing harmful bacteria and nutrients before the water reaches groundwater.
