How a House Septic Systems Works:

A house septic system is a self-contained, underground wastewater treatment system commonly used If a house is not connected to the main sewer, It consists of two main components: the septic tank and the drain field (also known as a leach field).

1. Septic Tank:

Wastewater from house drains (toilets, showers, sinks, etc.) flows into the septic tank, a buried, watertight container made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. Inside the tank, solids settle to the bottom, forming sludge, while oils and grease float to the top, forming scum. The middle layer of partially clarified wastewater exits the tank and flows into the drain field.

2. Drain Field:

The drain field is a network of perforated pipes laid in trenches filled with gravel. As the wastewater is discharged through the pipes, it percolates through the gravel and soil, which naturally filter and treat the water. Microorganisms in the soil break down harmful bacteria and nutrients, further purifying the water before it eventually returns to the groundwater system.

3. Soil Absorption:

The soil acts as a natural filter for the septic tank water, removing harmful pathogens, bacteria, and nutrients from the water. The treated water then recharges the groundwater supply, safely recycling it back into the environment.
