What is Drain Field Our septic system is made up of septic tank and drain field. Septic tank is a tank where liquid waste is stored when you flush down the toilet and drain field is the network of pipes that carry this liquid waste to soil so that bacteria and plants can treat it. A septic tank is buried down 6 to 8 feet deep however this also depends upon the geology of your soil and how much of water flowing through it.

How Does A Drain Field Work As we know that septic system has three components , septic tank , septic drain and soakaway. The tank is built to store and settling down the waste and drain field is a network of pipes that helps liquid waste to reach soil. The Soakaway is a gravel filled pits to allow waste water to settle for bacteria to breaking down them before reaching ground water.

Principle Of Drain Field The main function of drain field is to receive treated water from septic system and store it for treatment and then discharge it back to soil. The drain field works on same principle of septic tank however this does not let waste water to flow directly into deep hole of ground rather it uses separated small absorption chambers where some of it can be absorbed by soil and some evaporates.
