![]() Consequently, huge voumes of stagnant septic tank effuent accumulates in the seepage bed.The reason for system failure is the gradual formation underground of an imperable clogged or crusted layer in the soil blow and surrounding the seepage bed.įlow of water through this clogged or crusted zone is severely restricted or even eliminated, although the permeability of the surrounding soil remains essentially unchanged. Just how quickly depends on several factors including original construction type, materials, and quality, field size, septic system usage level, soil characteristics, soil water or groundwater control, and of course septic tank pumping frequency to avoid sending solids into the fields.īut for all systems that depend on disposal and treatment of wastewater in the soil, the biomat that forms around drainage trenches, seepage beds, or soakbeds, cesspools and soakpits eventually clogs. Septic Drainfield Age: eventually even a well-maintained SAS will eventually clog and have to be replaced.These factors explain why soakaway beds, seepage beds, leach fields, disposal fields, drainfields, or other synonymous effluent treatment & disposal systems fail early or at the end of a normal life. Here is a list of the causes of sewage wastewater disposal field failures.
