Septic Drain Field Repair and Replacement in Athens & Jefferson, GA

Unless you’ve overseen a septic system being installed, you may not be familiar with the drain field. The drain field of a septic system is the area around and beneath a septic tank. After wastewater enters the septic tank and separates, the water leaves the tank through perforated pipes into the drain field. However, any clogs or overflowing of the drain field can back up the entire septic line. This means that when there is standing water, repairing and replacing the field is an essential step. A proper system allows the water to be naturally filtered and returned to the water cycle without excess waste product.
