Drain Field Design. Leach field or soakaway field size requirements for these septic system designs. They should give you an idea of how the drainfield is supposed to work. There are many design variations of drainfields.
Gravity sends effluent to leach field with at least a 1 8 inch per foot drop and then is dispersed into soil evenly with all of the leach field perforated pipe being at the same level. Septic drain fields also called leach fields or leach drains are subsurface wastewater disposal facilities used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges after anaerobic digestion in a septic tank organic materials in the liquid are catabolized by a microbial ecosystem.

Who to contact localy. A septic drain field a septic tank and associated piping compose a septic system. If it takes less than 5 minutes for the water to drop 1 inch in a saturated hole the effluent will move too rapidly to be treated properly such as in sandy. A geofabric or similar material is then placed on top of the trench so sand dirt and other contaminants do not.
