Mound system A mound system is an engineered drain field built in a raised bed of sand and gravel above the natural ground, dosed by a pump. It is used where the soil is shallow, slow, or too close to bedrock or groundwater.
A mound is a pressurized, mechanical system, so pump care and even dosing matter far more than on a gravity field.

The situation
Why mounds exist and how they fail
When the separation between the bottom of a trench and bedrock or groundwater is too small, a county will not permit a conventional field. A mound solves that by placing sand fill and a pressurized distribution bed above grade, creating the treatment depth the site does not have naturally.
Mounds fail from overloading, from a dosing pump that stops dosing evenly, and from physical damage. Driving on a mound, planting trees in it, or letting downspouts run at its toe will all shorten its life. Seepage at the toe of the mound is the classic warning sign.
How the job runs
How we service a mound system
Pump the tank and check the filter
Solids reaching a pressurized bed plug orifices fast, so the tank comes first every time.
Test the dose cycle
Pump, floats, and timer are verified so every lateral gets its share of each dose.
Walk the mound
We look for seepage at the toe, erosion, settlement, and traffic damage on the slopes.
