What the Drain Field Does

EPA describes the drain field as the part of the system that removes contaminants from the liquid leaving the septic tank (EPA).

Warning Signs

Soggy ground, lush strips of grass, odors and slow drains can all point to a drain field problem.

Protecting It

EPA advises parking and driving away from the drain field, planting trees well away from it, and keeping roof drains and sump pumps from draining onto it (EPA).

Karst Considerations

USGS notes that karst in the Valley and Ridge can extend deep below the surface, with conduit porosity developing in limestone and dolomite (USGS). A local provider can advise on site conditions; replacements in Knox County require a permit first (Knox County Health Department FAQs).
