Bio-boosts help flow, but only mechanical pumping removes sludge and scum.
Can I landscape over the field?
Light native grasses are fine, but vehicles, sheds, and deep roots will choke your drainfield.

Odors signal vent, filter, or overload issues; call us for diagnostics before odors become overflows.
