Here are some factors you need to consider when choosing a location for your drain field installation.
Size
Your drain field must be large enough to handle all sewage. When your drain field is too small, it will overload easily and flood. This flooding can cause sewage backup in your pipes. It will also contaminate the groundwater. That’s why you need to choose an area of your yard that meets the requirements of a drain field.
Soil
The type of soil you have is essential, as well. When looking for the right installation location, make sure that the soil has the proper consistency. The soil needs to be coarse enough for the water to flow through. In the same way, it needs to be fine enough to filter the effluent.
Landscaping
If you have any landscaping in your yard, it will help in the drain field installation. Avoid areas near trees, as their roots can grow and damage the field. Make sure that there are no obstructions within the ground.
