Understand what’s underground
How does a septic system work?
Follow the flow from your home to the tank, the drain field and the soil.
- 1
From your home
A main drain carries wastewater from household fixtures to the buried tank.
- 2
Inside the tank
Solids settle as sludge; oils float as scum. The liquid between them moves toward the outlet.
- 3
Into the drain field
Partially treated liquid is distributed through the field’s piping.
- 4
Through the soil
Unsaturated soil receives and further treats the liquid as it moves downward.
