What Is Drain Field Replacement?
Drain field replacement means installing a new absorption area when the existing one can no longer treat and disperse water. It typically involves excavation, new trenches and pipe, a distribution box and proper backfill.
Replacement work in Georgia is subject to local health department requirements. We'll talk you through what applies to your property as part of the estimate.
When Do You Need Drain Field Replacement?
Replacement is usually needed when the soil around the trenches is saturated and clogged throughout, when the field is very old, or when it has been badly damaged.
If you've already had repairs and the same symptoms keep coming back, it may be time to evaluate replacement.
Common Warning Signs
- Sewage surfacing in the yard
- Backups even right after pumping
- Large areas of saturated ground
- Repeated drain field repairs
- A very old system with no service history
