How Your Septic System Works

Waste from fixtures in a residence collect into a main pipe, usually four-inch diameter, that flows into the septic tank. Most tanks are made of concrete and typically measure approximately 8.5 feet long, 5.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet tall. The entry point is usually three inches above the outlet. A divider in the tank captures floating solids in the incoming section. Usually, there exists an outlet tee, sometimes with a filter, to prevent solids from clogging the field lines. Debris collects at the bottom where they are decomposed by bacteria and enzymes. Liquid effluent flows through the outlet filter and tee to the field lines, which are typically four-inch, perforated, corrugated pipe. This allows the effluent water to filter through the soil to be subsequently purified by normal soil filtration and bacteria before draining into groundwater. The solids remain at the bottom of the tank until the tank is emptied.
