A septic system is an individual wastewater treatment system that uses the soil to treat wastewater. A septic system has two main parts, a holding tank and an absorption field. A third step can be added between the septic tank and the absorption field for further treatment. Sewage from the home enters into the septic tank where heavier solids settle out and scum rises to the surface. The water between the scum and solid layer enters into the absorption field where it trickles down into the soil.
Failing systems are expensive to repair or replace.

Untreated wastewater poses significant health risks to anyone who comes into contact with it.If your septic system is not functioning properly, and needs repairs or replacing, your system may be discharging untreated waste on to your yard or in to a nearby stream.
Failed systems decline property values and the value of local recreational areas.
