Field lines are an accessory to your septic tank that is necessary for proper drainage, and the State of Tennessee even requires that a field line be installed by a professional and follow proper guidelines. If you plan on building a home in Atoka, Millington, Oakland, Arlington, Ripley, Brownsville, or any surrounding areas, you will need a field line for your septic tank. 

​

While it is easy to know when you need an initial field line installation, it may be harder to tell when it is time to replace your current field line. Here are some things to consider:

​

• Your field line is older and deteriorating.

• Noticeably strong sewage odors in your yard.

• Standing water or excessive new plant growth above lines.

• Consistent clogs, backups, and slow draining across all toilets in your home.

• Trees near the field line could allow roots to grow into field lines.

​

If you notice any of these things and think that it might be time for a field line replacement, Elite Plumbing is here for you!
