The Basics
Septic Systems safely recycles wastewater back into the natural environment. A typical system consists of two basic parts: a septic tank and a soil absorption field or drainfield. Wastes flow from the house into the septic tank where most solids are separated to the bottom and are partially decomposed by bacteria to form sludge. Some solids float and form a scum mat on top of the water. The liquid effluent from the septic tank, carrying disease-causing organisms and liquid waste products, is discharged into the soil absorption field.
In the absorption field, the water is further purified by filtration and decomposition by microorganisms in the soil. The semi-purified wastewater then percolates to the groundwater system.
If you don't operate or maintain your septic system properly, it can be dangerous for your family, harm public health or the environment and affect neighbouring property owners.
