Common Reasons Your Septic Drain Field Might Fail:

There are many reasons a septic drain field can fail and would need replacement or repairs.

#1. If you have driven over the drain field with a vehicle or any heavy equipment you can actually damage the piping by crushing it or cracking it. This can damage and clog the dispersal field and is a common reason for replacement.

#2. Allowing brush, trees, or plants to grow overtop of the septic drain field. The root systems of plants love to infiltrate the pipes in your septic field to get at the nitrogen rich wastewater. If this is ignored over a period of a few years it can damage the drain field and cause it too fail.

#3. Not using an effluent filter in your septic tank can allow solids to flow through the tank and into your distribution box and into your septic drain field. When the drain field becomes clogged it can no longer disperse of the wastewater which leads to system backups and ultimately damage to the system.

#4. A lack of maintenance can also result in the drain field becoming overwhelmed with solids, clogging the system and causing it too fail. It's a smart move to have your septic tank pumped out of all solids at least every 3-5 years. This interval can vary depending on how the system is used and we can provide you with a good interval for your specific system after an inspection of your system.
