How Your Septic System Works

Drains from installations in a house collect into a central pipe, usually four-inch diameter, that flows into the septic tank. The majority of tanks are built using concrete and typically measure 8-1/2’ long, 5-1/2’ wide, and 4.5 feet tall. The inlet is usually 3” the outlet. A baffle in the tank captures floating solids in the inlet side. Usually, there exists an outlet pipe, sometimes with a filter, to prevent solids from clogging the field lines. The solids settle at the bottom where they are decomposed by bacteria and enzymes. Treated water flows through the outlet filter and tee to the field lines, which are typically four-inch diameter, perforated, corrugated pipe. This allows the effluent water to percolate through the soil to be further cleaned by normal soil filtration and bacteria before seeping down into groundwater. The solids stay at the bottom of the tank until the tank is emptied.
