Soil And Your Septic Drainfield

Your soil is not just dirt, it is a Scientifically Proven Sewage Treatment option. Microorganisms in soil work to purify the wastewater before it reaches groundwater. These microscopic bacteria, fungi, molds and other microbes need a place to live along with oxygen, proper temperatures and time to grow. This is where soil type is so important.

For your Brainerd, MN home to have a proper functioning septic system, soil must stay unsaturated. Wastewater treatment relies on the effluent gradually seeping into surrounding dirt under your drainfield. As the wastewater travels slowly through your drainfield, it relies on soil absorption and microorganisms to turn bacteria ridden wastewater into safe groundwater.
