Drain fields and septic systems go hand in hand. The septic tank holds the wastewater just long enough for the solids to settle down at the bottom of the tank while the oil and grease rises to the top. The drain field soaks up the wastewater as it leaves the septic tank, getting naturally treated by the soil as it moves through the soil.

Because the drain field must hold the water until it can be absorbed by the surrounding soil, many issues can arise causing a variety of issues. Call Glenn Tatum whenever you:
• Find yourself flushing your toilet more than normal
• Notice your drains are slower than normal
• Observe a black, slimy substance above the septic tank
• Smell sewage at times that wouldn’t otherwise make sense
