| SEPTIC TANK & DRAIN FIELD PRODUCTS – SEPTIC TANK MAINTENANCE |
One of the most common sewage disposal systems is a septic system. A typical septic system consists of a septic tank, splitter box* and a drain field. Typically, septic tanks are constructed of concrete or fiberglass, they are watertight and equipped with a riser. Typically, the drain field is constructed of drain rock and 5 inch perforated pipe. Regular maintenance together with good water conservation and waste disposal habits can optimize system efficacy and extend the life span of most septic systems.
