What is the best septic tank treatment to use?

What is a septic tank drain field?
A septic tank drain field, also known as a leach field, is a vital part of your septic system in Kenosha. After wastewater leaves the septic tank, it flows into the drain field. This area consists of a series of trenches or beds filled with gravel or other aggregate. Perforated pipes distribute the effluent evenly throughout the field, where soil microbes further treat and filter the wastewater before it reaches groundwater. Proper functioning is key to preventing system failure.
