How a septic system works A house drains into a buried septic tank. Solids settle in the tank. The clearer water flows to a drain field of gravel trenches, and the soil below treats it before it reaches groundwater. 1House 2Septic tank 3Drain field Soil treats the water Groundwater
  1. House. Every drain leaves by one pipe.
  2. Septic tank. Solids sink as sludge and grease floats as scum. Pumping removes both.
  3. Drain field. The clearer water spreads through gravel trenches, and the soil below treats it before it reaches groundwater.

Sewage backing up?

Use as little water as you can, keep kids and pets away from any sewage, and call a licensed pumper.
