Drainfield Services
Installation & Repair
S.O.S. Septic can handle any and all of your drainfield service needs. Whether we're building it as part of your septic system installation or restoring it after a system failure - we do it all.
Your septic system is composed of the pipes that transport wastewater, the septic tank that holds the waste, and the drainfield which removes contaminants from the water before it is absorbed back into the ground.
Also referred to as a leach field or leach drain, a properly functioning drainfield is paramount for homeowners and businesses that have a septic system.
While septic cleaning and pumping may be the service homeowners and businesses call for most often, when it comes to septic repair, the majority of problems and failures are actually due to the drainfield, not the septic tank.
