5 Reasons You May Need Drain Field Installation

  1. New Construction. A septic system is needed, which includes a drain field, when building a new house or other structure without connection to a municipal sewer system. We’ve provided many homeowners with drain field installation to ensure their new home has everything it needs.
  1. Replacement of Septic Systems. Septic systems may age or lose some of their capacity to treat wastewater. Installing a new drain field as part of a full septic system replacement can be necessary if your current septic system is deteriorating.
  1. Increased Wastewater Load. Your current septic system might not be able to handle the increased wastewater load if your family grows or if you make major modifications to your water usage, like adding more bathrooms or appliances. In these situations, adding or enlarging the drain field can be required.
  1. Failure of a Drain Field. Soil saturation, blockage, or damage are some of the reasons why drain fields can fail. When these things happen, you need a new drain field installation.
  1. Regulatory Compliance. To comply with current environmental and health requirements, you may be required by local and state regulations to install a drain field or improve an existing one. Our team stays current with the rules and regulations and can give you the services you need to stay on track.
