Restoring a failing drain field instead of replacing it

Effluent Filters

The small part that protects your drain field

An effluent filter screens solids out of the water leaving your septic tank, so they never reach the drain field. We install filters on existing tanks and clean them on every service visit.

Filter sized to the outlet pipe so it seats correctly in the tee
Riser and lid added where the outlet end of the tank sits buried
Filter pulled, rinsed back into the tank and reseated on every service visit
