The majority of all age groups expect to retire at age 65 or older. This includes 62% of 18- to 29-year-olds, 62% of 30- to 49-year-olds, and 58% of 50- to 64-year-olds. At the same time, an optimistic 15% of the youngest age group expect to retire before age 60. Adults closer to that age are naturally less likely to think they will be ready for retirement by that point.
A failing drainfield no longer has the capacity to handle the volume of water which it receives. A failing drainfield can have these characteristics: the grass is greener over the drainfield than the rest of the yard; there are odors in the yard; the plumbing backs up; the ground is wet or mushy over the drainfield.f your yard is perpetually wet, chances are your drainfield has become at least partially clogged. Your septic system's drainfield begins to deteriorate from the first day of use. Clogging agents plug the passages where water should flow. Having no other place to go, it backs up into the yard.
A typical septic drain field (see Figure 1), also known as a leach field, is a series of perforated pipes that are set in trenches and buried with aggregates (Â½- to 2Â½-inch gravel or Â½- to 4-inch rubber chips) and soil.These drain lines are at a minimum depth of 6 inches and are typically 18 to 36 inches wide.The individual drain lines will usually be 8Â½ to 10 feet apart (see Figure 2). It is important to note here that each drain field system will vary from the next.hese drain lines are at a minimum depth of 6 inches and are typically 18 to 36 inches wide.
