Drainfield Installation

Drainfield Installation in Ocala

The drainfield is where treated effluent returns to the soil, and it is the part of the system that fails first when it is undersized or clogged. Vicunachocolate builds new drainfields and replaces failed ones using gravel trenches or gravelless plastic chambers, sized from the perc rate so the ground can absorb the daily flow without surfacing. We also reset a settled distribution box that overloads one trench and starves the rest.

Why Sizing to the Soil Matters

A drainfield built for a dry January reading will flood the first summer. We test the seasonal high water table over the Floridan aquifer and space the laterals for wet season flow. Washed gravel or chambers wrapped in geotextile fabric keep draining even when the ground around Silver Springs Shores is saturated, which is the difference between a field that lasts and one that backs up into the house.

Our Process

We evaluate the failing field or design the new one, pull the Marion County permit, and excavate to the approved depth. We lay perforated distribution pipe on a level bed, set or replace the distribution box for even flow, and backfill clean. Every field is covered by our written guarantee.
