What Is a Leach Field?
Also called a drain field, the leach field disperses and filters wastewater from your septic tank into the soil. When the field becomes clogged, saturated, compacted, or damaged, it can no longer process wastewater effectively—creating health and environmental risks and often causing backups inside the home.
Why You Need a Leach Field Inspection
Early Detection of Problems
Regular inspections can uncover early issues like soil saturation, drainage problems, or root intrusion—before they turn into expensive repairs or system failure.
Buying or Selling Property
If you’re purchasing or selling a home with a septic system, a leach field inspection helps confirm system condition and reduces surprises during closing.
Drainage Issues or Sewage Smells
Persistent slow drains, odors, or wet areas in the yard can indicate a field issue. An inspection helps confirm the cause and determine the right solution.
