Is Your Darrington Property's Drain Field Giving You Issue

Also called a leach field, your drain field is a crucial component of your Darrington septic system.

You can count on Schleg Valley Construction to always provide expert guidance for maintaining and restoring your septic system and drain field to full function again.

How Drain Fields Work

The drain field uses a network of downward-sloping pipes with holes that fan away from your septic tank. The shallow areas prevent impurities and bacteria from leaching into the soil surrounding your tank. If your septic drain field is not working as it should, runoff can occur, overflowing into your yard, bringing foul odors. Additionally, nearby animals could ingest the toxic wastewater.

When Is Repair Necessary?

There are several signs of a drain field issue. Some things you can look out for include the following:

  • Gurgling sounds in plumbing and drains
  • Having to flush toilets more than once
  • Slower drains inside the home
  • Black gunk that develops near your septic tank on the ground
  • Foul, sewer-like odors outside or inside the property
  • Soggy areas in the yard, which may be lush and green
