How Your Septic System Works

Drains from appliances in a residence collect into a central pipe, usually four-inch diameter, that flows into the septic tank. Commonly, tanks are made of concrete and typically measure 8.5 feet in length, 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 entry area. Usually, there exists an outlet pipe, sometimes with a mesh, to prevent solids from getting into the field lines. Debris collects at the bottom where they are digested by bacteria and enzymes. Treated water 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 seep through the soil to be further treated by normal soil filtration and bacteria before draining into groundwater. The solids remain at the bottom of the tank until the tank is serviced.
