What Are Leach Lines?

leach lines

When waste enters your home’s septic tank, it’s broken down by bacteria into effluent — a wastewater byproduct that filters through a series of pipes back into the leach field, a specially-prepared area of soil and gravel that absorbs waste. Your home’s septic tank leach lines carry the effluent from the septic tank to the leach field. When they’re not working at peak efficiency, it can cause your entire system to back up.

Signs Your Leach Lines Need Service

Diagnosing leach line problems can be difficult, as they can be easily mistaken for other issues in your septic system such as a full or backed up tank. Signs of a leach line problem may include slow draining sinks and toilets, sewage or standing water developing on the ground above the leach field, strong sewage odors anywhere in your home and yard, and wastewater backing up into the home. ‘

If you notice any of these issues, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing to take the next steps in properly diagnosing the problem.

Leach Line Repair Options

A number of options are available for home owners dealing with a failed leach line or residential leach field. If the problem is with the line itself — either a root intrusionleach lines repair issue or a buildup of fats, oils and grease (FOGs) — the line can be repaired or replaced. Leach fields that have been neglected over time may require a full replacement, which is a potentially costly process.

In some cases, fields can be rejuvenated, a less involved process that can add years of additional life to your septic drainage system.
