  • How does a septic system work?

    A septic system installed by a professional septic service can be a great wastewater solution when municipal options aren't available. According to the Wall Street Journal, about 20% of U.S. homes rely on onsite septic systems instead of municipal wastewater. Septic systems use a tank to treat wastewater before it's discharged into a drain field. The tank holds the wastewater, allowing solids to settle. Then, the treated wastewater flows to the drain field, where it's further filtered by soil.
