Drainfield and Leach Field Installation

Drainfield and Leach Field Installation in Bangor

The drainfield is where treated effluent from the tank disperses back into the soil, and it is the part of the system most likely to fail when it is undersized or poorly built. Paulineachen installs new and replacement drainfields for Bangor homes using gravel trenches or plastic chamber systems, each sized from the perc rate so water disperses without surfacing or backing up into the yard.

Why Sizing Is Everything

• The perc rate rules. How fast water moves through your soil sets how much absorption area the field needs, and the county permits the field on that number.
• Chambers suit tight lots. Gravelless chamber systems can deliver the same capacity in a smaller footprint, a real advantage on a compact Bangor lot.
• A good field lasts decades. Even flow from a sound distribution box keeps every trench working, rather than overloading one and starving the rest.

Our Process

We run a perc test, calculate the required absorption area, and lay out the trenches or chambers with a level distribution box splitting the flow. We set washed drainfield stone or chamber units over non woven geotextile fabric, backfill to grade, and restore the surface. When soils are poor or the water table is high, we design an engineered mound instead so the required separation is met.
