Tips on Maintaining Your Septic Drain Field

One of the things you can do to maintain your septic drain field is to never drive over it. The weight from heavy cars or trucks can compress the pipes and cave in the trenches, damaging them. Planting trees on your drain field can also be detrimental to your septic system. The roots will find water and can cause costly repairs later on.

Another thing you can do to maintain your septic drain field is to never build or place anything like a shed or shop on your drain field.
