The essentials

How it works

A clear look at the systems and soil conditions that protect your property and the environment.

HOW A SEPTIC SYSTEM WORKS

All water runs out of your house from one main drainage pipe into a septic tank. The septic tank is a buried, water-tight container usually made of concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene. The liquid wastewater (effluent) then exits the tank into the drain field. The drain field is a shallow, covered, excavation made in unsaturated soil. Pretreated wastewater is discharged through piping onto porous surfaces that allow wastewater to filter through the soil. Finally, the wastewater percolates into the soil, naturally removing harmful coliform bacteria, viruses and nutrients. The recycled water then returns to underground aquafers.

HOW A SEPTIC TANK WORKS

When wastewater enters your septic tank, it naturally divides into three parts: Solids sink to the bottom and form a sludge layer. Liquids stay in the middle and form a layer of mostly water. Oils and fat rise to the top in a scum layer. The liquid layer accounts for 50 percent of your tank's capacity, meaning excess water use can affect the tank's function over time. Ideally, water in your tank flows through over several days while materials on the bottom are broken down by bacteria. The liquid flows into the effluent chamber where it is stored until it is pumped out into the field.

HOW SOIL CONDITIONS MATTER

The morphology of the soil determines what kind of septic system will be installed and how effective the system will be. No matter how good your septic system is, it depends on the right soil type to complete the process of purifying the wastewater from your home. The soil type in the drain field area will determine how well the effluent is filtered and if the water that is sent back into the water cycle is good enough. This is why understanding soil composition is very important when putting up a septic system. Proper onsite waste water management ensures that sewage and water leaving your house gets treated properly before going back into the environment.
