Drain Field
Definition

Leach Field, Leach Drain, Septic Drain Field
Cost Considerations
Drain fields can become plugged if the septic tank is not pumped often enough. Pumping can cost $200 to $400. By the time a drain field is clogged, it is too late to fix it and it needs to be replaced. This can cost between $5,000 and $20,000.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
