The Drain Field and Local Soil

The drain field is where effluent leaves the tank and filters back into the soil. Its performance depends directly on soil percolation and the local water table.

Around Winchester, where these conditions can vary sharply, a struggling drain field may show up as soggy ground, odors or slow drains. Servicing the field and protecting it with proper pumping habits helps extend its life.
