how far should the leach field be from the main house? we’re looking at a 2 story 1450sqft total house ( think colonial) the leach field is literately in front of the balconies and bedroom windows. the lot is less than 6k sqft in total. House is from 2006. 1. how often does the leach field need to be reconditioned or “ replaced” 2. how often should the alt. septic system be replaced & 3. is it safe in terms of air quality to have a leach field right in the front of the house where the bedrooms are. If someone who knows can reply asap that would be great. We are looking to buy a house and we’re hesitating due to the septic, this is why I’m doing research, we are in WA state ( rains quite a bit). Also how much roughly would it cost to get a septic guy to come out and inspect a system like that to assess longevity. Don’t these last max 20 years? house built in 2006, has original septic.

Please confirm this with your local department of environmental health and building department but typically your leach lines need to be a minimum of 10ft away from your home or any other permanent structure and 5 ft away from a property line. I am not aware of any health issues caused by the leach lines emitting anything int the air. The emitters are about 12” below grade. Alternative Septic Systems are normally inspected once a year.
