How Long Does an EarthBuster Service Take to Repair a Septic System?
The EarthBuster Deep Soil Decompactor is a specialized piece of equipment designed to repair and restore septic systems affected by compacted soil in the drain field. The process is relatively new and was only developed just over a decade ago, and it is a great alternative to digging up all of the compacted soil and replacing the drain field. Before we look at how our EarthBuster service works and how long it takes, it’s first important for you to understand how a septic drain field functions and the impact soil compaction has on it so you can know why an EarthBuster service might be needed and what effects it will have on your septic system. Understanding the Function of a Septic Drain Field A septic drain field is connected to the septic tank’s outlet baffle, and it functions to fully treat and dispose of the wastewater that flows out of the tank whenever you use your plumbing system. The water that flows out of the septic tank is partially treated since all of the bacteria in the tank quickly work to break down most of the waste in the water along with all of the solid waste in the tank.
