How Engineered Septic Systems Work in Colorado

See what happens below the surface.

How does wastewater get from your home to the soil beneath your property? Follow the process with Peak DirtWorks’ interactive illustration, from a three-compartment septic tank to a pump-dosed leach field and the treatment sand below.

Watch the system in action, pause at any stage, or switch to a close-up of the tank or leach field. It’s a straightforward way to understand the parts working together underground.

Every property is different. This illustration shows one example of an engineered septic system. Your Engineer will help determine the best design based on your soils.
