A drain field is an aerobic biological filter. The bacteria in a drain field break down waste products in the wastewater discharged into it. They use oxygen from a central aeration system to break down solids and release the nutrients found in wastewater back into the environment. The wastewater drains from the home via underground pipes or gravity flow and is piped to the drain field, where it flows through perforated piping into pits, where soil microbes work to break down this material. But how do you know when the drain field is not doing its job? Can you resolve the problem with septic tank pumping? Or, will you need a septic tank repair? Septic Blue of Raleigh can help determine the answer. In the meantime, let’s discuss the signs of a drain field problem.
The purpose of a drain field is to remove wastewater from the septic tank and disperse it over the soil. A drain field can be gravel, crushed rock, or sand. Drain fields are usually located on a lower elevation than your home or building but can be elevated or below grade. Problems with your drain field can lead to severe consequences for your health, property value, and environmental safety.
If there are pools of water in your drain field, this indicates a broken pipe or a crack in the system. The pooling water will leak into your house, causing damage to your floors and walls. You will also see sewage odor inside your home or the area where the pooling water is located. The odor is caused by bacteria that thrive on decaying matter. Urgent attention is needed.
If you smell sewage odor from your drain field, this can be caused by several things. If you have recently used too much fertilizer on your lawn, this can cause an overflow at your drain field and cause a sewage odor throughout your home or yard. This is usually temporary until the grass dies or stops growing as much as it was before. If there are pools of water in your drain field, they may contain bacteria that causes gas to form, leading to a foul smell. Sewage odors are usually temporary, but if they persist, you should call Septic Blue of Raleigh for more information on how to fix it correctly so that it doesn’t happen again!
