In Milton, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired a failed drainfield. Upon excavating, we found the water was only being distributed to two out of four drainfield lines. This imbalance caused too much pressure on the lines. They became overly saturated and deteriorated, which forced water to come up onto the ground. The drainfield lines had also been improperly installed and were buried too deep, approximately 6 feet underground. Due to the depth, the water was not given enough opportunity to dry up.
Action Septic Tank Service installed new drainfield lines at a more shallow depth, about 3 feet underground. We also performed a crossover and installed chambers to utilize all of the drainfield lines and get the system properly flowing.
Typically, drainfield lines are approximately 3-4 feet deep. If your entire system is failing, we suggest installing a more shallow drainfield, approximately one foot deep, and adding a pump tank to evenly distribute the water to all lines. Setting your drainfield at a shallower depth also allows the water to be better absorbed and relieves the pipes from the weight of the dirt overtop.
