Jackson, TN. Field service.

FIELD NOTES // HOW IT WORKS

Your septic system, in plain English.

HOUSEINLETINLET BAFFLESCUM LAYER ~12inSLUDGE LAYER ~12inOUTLETBAFFLEFIELD LINE
  • 01 // INLET

    Everything from your house flows into the tank. Toilets, sinks, laundry, all of it.

  • 02 // SEPARATION

    Solids settle to the bottom as sludge. Grease and lighter waste float as scum. Liquid sits in the middle.

  • 03 // DISCHARGE

    Only the middle liquid layer exits through the outlet baffle into your field line, where the soil filters it.

  • 04 // WHY PUMPING MATTERS

    When sludge or scum gets too thick, solids reach the field line. Field lines plug. Repairs run thousands. Pump every 3 to 5 years and the system lasts decades.

Signs you need service

Six signs your tank is telling you something.

01

Slow drains everywhere

Not just one sink. Multiple drains slowing down at once means the tank, not the pipes.

02

Gurgling toilets

Air struggling past liquid waste backing up in the line.

03

Smell in the yard

If you can smell it outside, the tank is full or the field line is failing.

04

Wet patches over the field line

Soggy grass in a dry week is the field line surfacing wastewater.

05

Greener grass over the tank

Effluent is fertilizing the ground above. Tank likely overdue.

06

Last pump was 4+ years ago

Most households need pumping every 3 to 5 years. Mark it on the calendar.
