Is it important to maintain your leach field?
  • Do not park or drive on your leach field.
  • Only plant trees the appropriate distance away from the leach field to keep roots from growing into the system.
  • Keep sump pumps, roof drains and other rainwater drainage systems away from your leach field. Excess water can overwhelm the system and stop the treatment process.
