A leach field is responsible for safely dispersing and filtering the liquid wastewater from your septic tank. If installed improperly, wastewater may surface, contaminate groundwater, or cause your entire septic system to fail. This isn’t a DIY project—Ohio law requires licensed professionals for all septic and leach field installations.
With SepTek, you’ll never have to worry about costly code violations, unsafe design, or premature system failure.
We follow a thorough, science-backed process to ensure every leach field is installed properly and built to last:
Our licensed soil scientists and designers assess your property to determine the best possible location for your leach field. We check for percolation rates, slope, and proximity to wells, buildings, and utility lines.
We work with your local health department to design a compliant, efficient leach field layout. Then we handle all required permits so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Excavation typically takes 1–2 days. We then install the distribution box, chambers or pipes, and connect the leach field to your septic system using high-quality materials.
After installation, we coordinate all inspections and perform flow testing to ensure the system operates as designed.
Installing a leach field—also known as a drain field—is one of the most critical components of a properly functioning septic system. Done incorrectly, it can lead to costly repairs, environmental damage, and even legal violations.

How long should a leach field last?
With quality materials and proper maintenance, leach fields can last 20–30 years or more.
Can I install my own leach field?

What’s the difference between a leach field and a septic tank?
The septic tank collects waste; the leach field filters and disperses the treated wastewater into the soil.
