Are you experiencing issues with your septic system? If so, it might be time to consider drain field repair. As experts in the field, we understand the importance of a properly functioning drain field, and we’re here to help you identify the signs indicating it’s time for repair. A drain field, a leach field, or a soil absorption system is a crucial component of your septic system. It disperses the treated wastewater from the septic tank into the surrounding soil. Learn about the five indications that you need drain field repair.
- Sewage Odors. One of the most obvious signs that your drain field needs attention is the presence of foul, sewage-like odors around your septic system or in your yard.
- Lush Green Patches in Your Yard. This phenomenon is caused by the leakage of nutrient-rich wastewater from the drain field, providing extra nourishment to the grass in those areas.
- Sewage Backup. If you experience sewage backups in your home, your drain field is malfunctioning, clogged, saturated, or has a damaged septic system component. Sewage backups should be addressed immediately.
- Standing Water or Muddy Soil. If you notice standing water or muddy soil around your drain field, it could indicate that it is not absorbing the wastewater properly.
- Septic System Alarm. The alarm is designed to alert you to potential issues with your septic system, so it’s important to address the problem as soon as possible.
