Drainfield Installation

Drainfield and Leach Field Installation in Spartanburg

The drainfield is where the real treatment happens, and it is the most expensive part of a septic system to get wrong. Theweeklytimes builds and replaces soil absorption fields across Spartanburg County using gravel trenches or gravelless plastic chambers, sized off the perc rate so treated effluent disperses into the soil instead of surfacing in the yard or backing up into the house. When a lot near Reidville Road has a high water table, we build an engineered mound instead.

Why the Drainfield Size Is Not a Guess

A field that is too small floods and fails early; a field built into wet ground never treats effluent properly. That is why we run a percolation test and read the soil profile before we lay a single lateral. The perc rate and the seasonal water table set the exact square footage the county will permit, and four feet of vertical separation to groundwater or bedrock is not negotiable.

Our Process

We evaluate the soil, confirm the field size with the Spartanburg County health department, then excavate the trenches to grade, place the distribution box, and lay perforated pipe over washed gravel or set the chamber run. We cover with geotextile fabric, call for inspection, and backfill only after it passes.
