When you notice signs that your drain field may be damaged or malfunctioning in some way, whether that might include puddles and standing water in your yard and around the drain field, foul odors in your yard, or water backing up into your drains, you should schedule a drain field repair right away. No matter the extent of the issue with your drain field, it’s important to never delay the necessary repairs. Here are a few reasons why.
- Prevent potential environmental or safety issues: If your drain field isn’t functioning properly, it could potentially pollute the groundwater for your property and the rest of the area as well. This can be harmful for the environment depending on the severity of the situation and incur fines for the polluted groundwater. A timely drain field repair can help to minimize any issues and risks.
- Prevent more costly damage and repairs: When a damaged or malfunctioning drain field is left ignored, you risk the chance of the issue becoming more extensive and requiring more extensive and costly repairs as a result. Scheduling a drain field repair as soon as you notice a sign of a problem can get the problem resolved right away before the damage can become more extensive or cause further issues for the rest of the septic system.
- Prolong the lifespan of your drain field: By scheduling drain field repairs earlier rather than later, you can help to prolong the lifespan of your drain field and prevent early replacements. That way, you can enjoy your septic system worry-free it for as long as possible.
