**Leach Fields**

Leach fields, also known as drain fields or septic drain fields, are a critical component of a septic system designed to safely disperse and treat wastewater from your home. After wastewater exits the septic tank, it flows into the leach field where it is filtered through soil, helping to remove harmful bacteria and nutrients before the water reenters the groundwater system. Proper maintenance of leach fields is essential to prevent clogs, backups, and environmental contamination.
