Protecting the drain field on a Brigantine property

The drain field is the part of a Brigantine septic system that costs the most to replace. Keep it clear of parked cars, sheds, patios and deep-rooted trees. Route roof drains and sump pumps away from it so the soil is not already soaked when wastewater arrives. Grass is the best cover, because it helps the soil breathe and take up water.

After heavy rain, check your Brigantine system

Wet seasons put extra pressure on septic systems around Brigantine. If drains run slower after a storm or the ground over the field turns soft, the soil may be saturated. Limit water use for a day and watch whether it recovers. Trouble that persists after the ground dries out needs an inspection.

Questions Brigantine homeowners should ask first

Before hiring in Brigantine, ask three things. Are you licensed and insured for septic work in Atlantic County? Will you inspect the baffles and filter when you pump? Can you show me what you found? Clear answers tell you more than a low quote does.
