A poorly designed or undersized leach field can lead to system backups, soggy yards, and groundwater contamination. That’s why every leach field we install is based on a detailed understanding of your property’s soil type, water usage, and tank capacity.
Our process includes:
With the right leach field design, your system will treat and release wastewater effectively—protecting your home, yard, and the environment.
Leach fields in Southern Arizona face intense challenges from heat, dry conditions, and clay-heavy soils. Our team has decades of experience working with these variables to ensure each leach field is durable, functional, and set up for long-term success.
We install systems that account for:
At Gross Septic Pumping, we don’t just install the lines—we install a solution that keeps your septic system functioning properly for years to come.
Installing a leach field isn’t just a matter of digging trenches—it’s about engineering a system that will properly treat and disperse wastewater for decades. At Gross Septic Pumping, we take a detailed, site-specific approach to every leach field installation to ensure lasting performance and full compliance with local standards.
Here’s what our installation process typically includes:
We begin by performing percolation tests and soil evaluations to determine how well your land absorbs wastewater. This helps us choose the right field size and layout to match your property’s drainage capacity.
Your leach field needs to handle your home’s wastewater output without overloading. We calculate line length, spacing, and trench depth based on household size, usage, and tank volume to ensure optimal flow and dispersal.
Our team excavates the field using careful grading to prevent pooling or uneven saturation. We install distribution lines with the proper pitch and backfill them with approved materials for both filtration and durability.
After installation, we ensure water disperses evenly throughout the field and check for any signs of improper drainage or future saturation risks. This step is key to preventing backups and system failure.
Roots are a leading cause of leach field damage. We help identify and mitigate risks from nearby trees and shrubs, and offer solutions like root barriers or relocation advice to extend the life of your field.
We follow all ADEQ and local health department guidelines, complete necessary permits, and perform final system checks to ensure everything is functioning correctly and ready for inspection or use.
