Septic Drainer works on septic drain fields, leach fields, cesspools, drywells and infiltrator systems.

How Septic Systems Work |
Drain Field / Leach Field
| Which Septic System Do You Have..? |
CONVENTIONAL SEPTIC SYSTEM
(Drain Field, Leach Field, Raised Bed or Pump Up)
- Wastewater flows from the home or business into a septic tank
- Solids settle on the bottom of the tank, and less dense materials, such as grease, oils and soap, float to the top.
- The liquid in the middle of the tank or wastewater flows out into a distribution box, which distributes the water into the septic drain field. Baffles prevent grease, oil and soap from escaping into the septic drain field.
- The septic drain field is a series of trenches lined with perforated pipes, covered by soil.The wastewater passes through holes in the pipes and leaches into the drain field soil, which acts as a natural filter.
|
Drywell
DRY WELL SEPTIC SYSTEM
- Wastewater flows from the home or business into a septic tank
- Solids settle on the bottom of the tank, and less dense materials, such as grease, oils and soap, float to the top.
- The liquid in the middle of the tank ("wastewater") flows under baffles that prevent soap and grease from entering the septic drywell.
- The wastewater flows via a pipe into the drywell, usually a tall concrete cylinder that has holes in the side and an open bottom, covered in soil.
- The wastewater then seeps out into the surrounding soil, which filters the effluent.
|
Cesspool / Cesspit
CESSPOOLS
(Cesspit)
- Wastewater flows from the home or business into a cesspool septic tank.
- The tank is a hole lined with stone or concrete to form a pit into which sewage is discharged.
- Solids settle on the bottom of the tank, and liquids remain on top.
- Wastewater is absorbed into the soil of the septic drain field, from both below and through the sides of the cesspool.

Do Your Due Dillegence & Get To The Bottom Of
This Septic Drain Field Problem Today..!
Many Families Utilize A:
Septic tank / Leach Field Combination to dispose of their household waste water (sewage). These gravity based systems move waste water and solids from your house to a septic tank buried underground outside of your home.
|
|
| Once the waste water arrives there, the liquid flows from the septic tank, through your distribution box where the liquefied sewage is redirected into the leach/drain field. |
Drain / Leach Fields
 |
In order to become clean ground water once again, liquefied sewage needs to percolate through 36" of dry soil that has been colonized with aerobic bacteria.
Most leach field pipes are buried 18" from the
surface of the ground, which means the liquefied
sewage must move through the Leach/Drain field to a
total depth of 54" within the ground to do its job
properly. |

"But What Happens After Years Of Use..?"
See the real reason Why Septic Systems Fail in the next step of our tour..!
Let's Continue on with:
Drain / Leach Fields
-- On average, a drain/leach field consists of a series of pipes buried 18" within the ground on top of a bed of gravel. These drainage pipes sit parallel with one other and are all linked together coming out of the distribution box.
Liquefied sewage moves through the system under the weight of gravity from the septic tank, through the distribution box and into each of the drainage pipes. |
|
On most new septic system constructions, the opposite end (the very end) of the drain pipes are tied together and vented above the ground.
A functioning Drain/Leach field will dispose of house hold waste water by draining the liquefied sewage through many small weep holes (in the drain field pipes) into the dry subsoil under the system.
As you have previously learned, after the liquefied sewage drains away from these pipes, if it is filtered by 36 inches of dry soil (colonized with aerobic bacteria), it will again become clean ground water.
Most townships base a Drain / Leach field size by adding 500' of drainage pipe for each bedroom in the home. |
Currently, Septic Installers place a drain around the outside of the drain/leach field area to remove excess ground water. The idea behind this 'Curtain Drain' is to remove built up water to allow the liquefied sewage to drain/filter through the necessary 36" of dry soil.
When ground water builds up under a drain/leach field, dark liquefied sewage will float to the top and cause a foul 'septic' odor. This is referred to as a 'Glazed' drain/leach field and as you can imagine: Not only is this more common with older drain/leach fields, but this is also considered a failure that is dangerous and must be repaired.
Leach field maintenance is very important to the
proper functioning of your system.
Your Septic Tank
Depending on the number of bedrooms, a septic tank (holding tank) can range in size from 500 to 3,000+ gallons (1000 gallons being average).
Your Septic Tank is setup to only allow liquid to pass through to the drain / leach field in order not to clog the small weep holes and dry soil with suspended solids. This task is performed through microbial digestion and seperation.
A Simplified View of Your Septic Tank |
Within your septic tank, denser solids sink to the bottom and form 'sludge' while the lighter solids, such as oil & grease, move to the top and form what is known as the 'scum layer'.
Between these 'upper and lower' layers should be all liquid. Inside your septic tank there are a series of baffles. These baffles work to keep the scum layer held at the top & the solids pooled at the bottom. |
That way, only liquid can flow to the outlet pipe. This is the Process of Separation we just talked about...
The only other thing you really need to note is that your septic tank turns solids into liquid through the process of "Microbial Digestion".
Sludge & Scum is liquefied by natural enzymes & bacteria within your septic tank. This same process is used at municipal waste water treatment plants all throughout the country.
After 'Microbial Digestion' occurs, all the liquefied sewage flows out of the septic tank and into the 'Leaching Area' (Drain / Leach Field). |
Distribution Box
Once in the Septic Tank, gravity then causes the liquefied sewage to flow to a small box known as the 'Distribution Box'. By running liquefied sewage into this one box that has multiple out-pipes, you can spread the waste water evenly across your entire drain / leach field.
Once the waste water has entered the drain / leach field it then leaks out of small weep holes in the bottom of the drain field pipes. After making its way out of these drain pipes, the waste water is then naturally filtered through dry soil until it once again becomes clean ground water. |
And that's it..! As
you can see there's really not a whole lot to to the process.
- Waste water (sewage) drains from your home into your Septic Tank.
- Your Septic Tank turns solids into liquid through 'Microbial Digestion'.
- Baffles in your septic tank separate and only allow liquids to flow out.
- Liquid Sewage flows from your Septic Tank to your 'Distribution Box'.
- In the distribution box, waste water flows evenly into your Drain Field Pipes.
- Where it then drains from small weep holes in the drain field pipes deep into the ground.
- After the liquefied sewage (waste water) has filtered through 36 inches of bacteria colonized soil, it once again becomes clean ground water.
Waste Water Flows From The House, To The Septic Tank, To The
Distribution Box, Into The Drain / Leach Field & Back Into The Ground

Read What Our Customers
Took The Time To Say...
"Our septic system needed to be pumped twice a year and sometimes three times a year so my septic pumping company recommended we try Septic Drainer so we said what the hell let’s give it a try...
We tried Septic Drainer and at first the water level did not go down so we added some more. Well that was three years ago without any further pumping. Wonder product, I would recommend if your system has failed because of soil failure, give it a try."
T. Smith - Granville, NY

"I called the owner to let him know the septic was backing up, and the owner scheduled a local company to pump the tank. While the tank was being pumped the pumper noticed wastewater was flowing back into tank from the dry well, he then told me the system was not draining. The owner found Septic Drainer and decided to give it a try and that was 1.5 years ago with no problems."
"I would recommend Septic Drainer, it’s cheaper to try than a $4,000.00 replacement costs."
R. Cole - Gansevoort, NY

After speaking with Mark I ordered a case of Septic Drainer as my local company just advised me to empty the tank.
I own rental house with septic tank and used your product on my system which was draining slow. Since I started using your product about 8 months ago, I no longer have any issues with my drain field, clogging pipes or grease build up.
Many people don't understand that draining your system actually makes it worse as the bacteria that breaks the solids down has to start from scratch! The system just needs some help sometimes and your product was amazing! Its been 8+ months now with NO BACKUPS and no calls from the renters. You have earned customer for life!

"When my system backed up my septic pumping company told me my wet well has failed. They suggested I try Septic Drainer because replacing the system would be expensive and because the septic pumping company highly recommended Septic Drainer I thought what to heck let’s give it a try. It s been 14 months with no backups! Septic Drainer is a great product!"
M. Miller - Moreau, NY
