If the soil in your drain field gets plugged up with solids, liquids won’t be able to pass through it, leading to a host of costly septic drain field problems such as sewage odors and wet spots on your property. Septic drain field problems are most likely to occur if your septic tank isn’t pumped regularly. Luckily, Straight Flush Septic offers drain field rejuvenation services to clients throughout Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Lexington, Pfafftown, Lewisville, Clemmons, Mocksville, Advance, Bermuda Run, Walnut Cove, Germanton, Tobaccoville, Linwood, Walkertown, Yadkinville, East Bend, Rural Hall, Belews Creek, Welcome, and Oak Ridge.
Septic System Basics
To understand drain field rejuvenation, you need to know the basics of how your septic system works. First, septic tanks collect liquid and solid waste from the house. Anaerobic (absence of oxygen) bacteria digest some of the waste inside the tank. The solids are designed to stay on one side of the tank, and the liquids pass through a baffle wall to the other side. Once there, the liquid waste enters the drain field, which is a series of lines throughout the yard that disburses the waste back into the earth.
Aerobic (oxygen-dependent) bacteria in the drain field help digest the waste before it is filtered back. Anaerobic conditions can develop in the drain field if the tank is not pumped often enough, if the oxygen demand on the waste is high, or if an excessive amount of water is introduced into the system. This anaerobic condition will slow the transfer of water to soil, cause a black sludge to build up, and create more anaerobic conditions, further intensifying the problems in the drain field. This can lead to severe drain field problems and costly repairs.
Take a Closer Look at Our Drain Field Repair Process
We can rejuvenate the drain field by oxidizing the sulfides in the septic system and increasing the availability of oxygen. The aerobic bacteria in the system will then thrive again and improve the treatment of waste in the drain field. This will prevent solids from plugging up the soil, allowing liquid to pass through. Our rejuvenation can save homeowners the expense of installing a new system in the home.
