How to Care for Your Tile Bed (Drainfield)?

5/21/2017

Your tile bed (drainfield) is an important component of your septic system. As your sewage enters the septic tank the sewage level rises causing clear liquid (effluent) to flow into your tile bed. In the tile bed, the soil introduces oxygen to the wastewater and removes bacteria, viruses and nutrients.
​
​Here are a few ways to maintain your tile bed (drainfield):
  • Roots from trees or nearby plants might damage your tile bed so only plant grass over or near your septic tank system.
  • It's best to not drive over or park on your septic system as it can compact the soil, and damage the pipes or tank.
  • Have eavestroughs, basement sump pumps or other drainage systems kept away from the tile bed. As excess water can slow down or stop treatment causing backups.
  • Don't build anything on top of your septic system such as pools, pavement, decks, ice rink, etc...
