Signs Your Septic Drainfield Has Stopped Working

Signs Your Septic Drainfield Has Stopped Working

Drain fields are essential to the health of your septic system. As the household waste travels through your septic system, it ends up in the drain field. Once waste in the septic tank pumping is broken down and digested by affluent bacteria, it is expelled into the drain field.

Slowing Drainage:- Homeowners first notice slower than usual drainage from all the sinks, tubs, and toilets in a home when they have a compromised drainfield.

Only once the drainfield has completely failed and the tank has a chance to fill up too high will drainage stop altogether.

Rising Water:- Water levels can also rise inside the septic tank because of a clogged or crushed drainfield. The water will eventually rise up high enough to push sewage up the inlet pipe and into your home's lowest drains, which is known as a backup. If a technician reports high water levels during a tank inspection, you may need drainfield repairs instead of just a routine pumping.

Sewage Odor:- If you notice a dark sludge that smells like sewage, it probably means that bio-material is passing into the drain field. This is bad. This is an environmental biohazard. You do not want to release raw waste back into the environment. It can contaminate the local water source. Additionally, it can wreak havoc on your drain field as well.
