How a Septic System Works

A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment structure commonly used in rural areas without centralized sewer systems. It’s made up of two main parts: the septic tank and the drain field (also called a leach field).

When wastewater leaves your home—from toilets, showers, sinks, or laundry—it flows into the septic tank. Inside the tank, solids settle to the bottom (forming sludge), oils and grease float to the top (forming scum), and the liquid wastewater in the middle (effluent) exits into the drain field. The drain field is a network of perforated pipes that allows the effluent to slowly filter through soil, where it’s naturally treated by bacteria.

Without regular pumping, solids can build up in the tank, leading to clogs, backups, and system failure. That’s why regular service is key to keeping everything flowing smoothly.
