Some health codes do not allow septic leachfields to be installed under impervious surfaces such as a driveway. This is because the surface pressure can compact the soil, resulting in a negative affect on the soil’s ability to treat effluent (wastewater). Check with your local health department for the specific codes for your area. If this type of installation is allowed, call Infiltrator Systems’ Technical Services staff at 1-800-718-2754 for design and installation instructions.
