Questions

Treatment drywells, answered.

Answers from licensed plumbers and septic installers. Still unsure? Call West CT at (860) 248-6262.

Why can my softener not drain into the septic?
Backwash is salty and arrives in large slugs that disrupt the tank and can damage the leach field. Health departments want it in a separate drywell.
How much does a treatment drywell cost?
A drywell up to 300 gallons starts from $3,256 installed at Drainworks, including the permit and inspection.
