What Is a Septic System? A Complete Guide

A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment system used primarily in areas without centralized sewer systems. It collects and treats household wastewater by separating solids from liquids, allowing bacteria to break down waste safely.

Septic systems are critical to maintaining sanitation in rural and suburban areas. Proper design, installation, and maintenance prevent system failures, backups, and environmental contamination.
