If you’re planning a new septic system installation or replacing an older system, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is what type of drain field to use. For decades, traditional gravel systems were the standard — heavy rock beds that required extensive digging, hauling, and disruption to your property. But today, there’s a smarter, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly option: the EZ Flow Drainage System.
At FJ Rabon Construction, we’ve been installing septic systems across Kershaw County, Richland County, and surrounding areas for generations. We’re proud to offer EZ Flow because it’s not just an upgrade from traditional systems — it’s a complete rethink of how septic drain fields can work better for homeowners, the environment, and your budget.
What Makes EZ Flow Different?
The EZ Flow Drainage System is a modern, gravel-less alternative designed to improve drain field performance and make installation easier and more efficient. Each unit comes preassembled with a 3” or 4” perforated drain pipe, surrounded by engineered media and held together by durable, high-strength netting.
This innovative design eliminates many of the drawbacks of gravel systems — like compaction, embedment, and uneven distribution — and creates a more reliable, long-lasting solution for wastewater treatment.
Big Benefits for Your Property and Your Wallet
- Minimal Digging and Less Tree Removal: Traditional drain fields often require extensive excavation, which can tear up your yard and force you to remove mature trees. The EZ Flow system is much more compact, which means less digging, less disruption, and fewer trees that need to be cleared. That’s better for your property, better for the environment, and often easier on your budget too.
- Made from Recycled Materials: One of the most eco-friendly features of the EZ Flow system is its use of recycled materials. Instead of hauling in new gravel, the engineered media inside each unit is created from recycled content — reducing landfill waste and giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Choosing EZ Flow means you’re making a more sustainable choice for your home and your community.
- Better Wastewater Treatment and Drain Field Performance: Because the EZ Flow system eliminates the fines and compaction issues associated with gravel, it allows wastewater to disperse more evenly and absorb more efficiently into the soil. This means improved drain field performance, better system longevity, and fewer chances of clogs, backups, or failures over time. It’s a solution that works smarter, not harder, to protect your home and the environment.
- Faster, Easier Installation: The lightweight, preassembled design of EZ Flow units means they’re quicker and easier to install than traditional gravel drain fields. That often translates into shorter installation times, less disruption to your property, and potential savings on labor costs. And because the installation is more streamlined, your new septic system can be up and running sooner.
