New Septic Tank Installation

A septic tank system in the Portland Metro Area consists of two basic working parts: A septic tank and an underground disposal field (variously called drain field, leach field, or soil absorption field). Waste water flows from the house to the tank and effluent water (the wastewater minus the solids) flows from the tank to the drain field. The main job of the tank is to intercept the solids and the main job of the drain field is to purify and disperse the effluent. The soil filters and purifies the effluent before returning it to the water table where it will be taken in by plants or evaporated.

There are many variations of this basic design and each system is uniquely determined by how much water the house will be using, how strong the waste will be, soil consistency, location of the groundwater table, and the property size.
