When an outdated septic system needs to be replaced or you’re building a new property, it’s essential to choose the right team to handle the drain field installation process. Your drain field will play an important role in filtering out the wastewater from your system, and it needs to reliably do its job to prevent harming the local ecosystem.
Fortunately, our team at Clark Septic is here to offer the comprehensive septic solutions you need, including drain field installation services. If you have never had a drain field installed on your property before, we’ll go through the basic steps of this process in the blog below.
- Site Evaluation: Our team will meet with you at your property to inspect the terrain, soil conditions, nearby water sources, and other factors that will influence the drain field installation job. We’ll take all these details into account when creating a customized plan for your property’s drain field design.
- Excavation: Once we’ve finalized a design for your new drain field, we’ll begin the excavation process. During this phase, we’ll dig the trenches where the drain pipes will eventually be installed.
- Install Pipes and Gravel: After the trenches are prepared, the drain field installation process will actually begin. Our team will carefully place perforated pipes throughout the trenches and fill in the areas around the pipes with gravel or other materials to aid in filtration.
- Connect to Septic Tank: Once the drain field installation is complete, we’ll connect the drain field to your septic tank and thoroughly test the connections to ensure everything will work smoothly.
- Backfilling and Grading: When everything is connected, our team will backfill the trenches with soil and carefully grade the area to prevent water from pooling on the drain field’s surface.
