Miller’s Septic Tank Cleaning is one of the most critical components of a septic system. It disperses treated wastewater into the soil, where it undergoes natural filtration. However, when drain fields fail, they can cause foul odors, pooling water, and even contamination of nearby water sources. Preventing these issues requires awareness and regular care.
Common Causes and Prevention Tips
The most common causes of drain field failure include overloading the system, compacted soil, or clogging from grease and solids. Avoid draining large volumes of water at once and space out laundry loads throughout the week. Protect the drain field area by keeping aeration intact—never pave or build over it.
Additionally, avoid planting trees nearby, as roots can invade and damage pipes. Scheduling annual inspections and monitoring wastewater levels will help identify problems early. Preventive care keeps your system healthy, protects your property, and ensures long-term reliability of the drain field.
