Soil conditions are tested by with a percolation test or perc test. An engineer or licensed designer is required to work with the local governing agency to design a system that conforms to the specifications.
In a properly designed septic absorption field the level of usage of the system, site characteristics such as slope, rock, groundwater level, and soil percolation rate have all been considered. Barring mistakes a field may last from 10 to 20 years. But it's easy to ruin or shorten the life of a drain field.
