What makes a house function..

I stop by the homestead almost everyday and we have had more progress since Friday!  We have a septic pit and we have a leach field!!  If you don't know what that is here is your mini lesson. Our neighborhood isn't hooked up to the city water waste.. so we get to invest in this sweet looker below.

Ready to learn a thing or two?

Septic drain fields, also called leach fields or leach drains are used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges from the septic tank. A septic tank, the septic drain field, and the associated piping compose a complete septic system. The septic drain field is effective for disposal of organic materials readily catabolized by a microbial ecosystem. The drain field typically consists of an arrangement of trenches containing perforated pipes and porous material (often gravel) covered by a layer of soil to prevent animals and surface runoff from reaching the wastewater distributed within those trenches.
