What Is a Drainfield?
Your drainfield (also called a leach field) is the underground system that disperses wastewater from your septic tank into the soil for natural filtration.
When functioning properly, it safely absorbs and filters wastewater. When it fails, wastewater has nowhere to go — leading to backups, surface pooling, and potential health concerns.
Drainfield issues are common in older systems or systems that have not been regularly maintained.
