In Cumming, GA, Action Septic Tank Service added a new distribution box to a homeowner's septic system. See the photo attached.
Your distribution box is usually made of concrete or plastic and is located between the septic tank and the drainfield. With the use of gravity, it distributes the effluent, or wastewater, to the drainfield. The effluent leaves the septic tank and travels through the inlet pipe to the distribution box. The wastewater is dispersed from the distribution box through the outlet pipe that leads to a series of trenches in the soil.
When installed, your distribution box must be level so that the effluent is evenly distributed, otherwise uneven loading occurs and parts of the soil trenches become overloaded. Over time, the distribution box may tilt. This is sometimes caused by the freezing and thawing of the ground during winter and spring. If the wastewater is unevenly dispersed, and some of the distribution pipes become overloaded, your septic system will fail and you may notice untreated wastewater surfacing in your yard. Equal wastewater distribution is necessary to help maximize the life of your septic system. Action Septic Tank Service recommends having the distribution box checked during your yearly septic inspection.
