Ways To Keep Your Kids And Pets Off Septic Drain Fields
If you're moving to a larger piece of property that has a huge backyard, your children and pets will want to run around on the grass outside -- you can count on that. But if your property uses a septic system, then much of that green lawn could hide a drain field. Children and pets should never play on a drain field because any bacteria that works its way out of the septic tank and into the drain field soil could get onto the children's or pets' feet and paws -- and both children and pets are not that concerned about dirt getting near their mouths, which could make them sick or spread the bacteria into your home.
