Having a problem with your septic system can bring unfortunate results to your home or commercial facility. Not only is it nasty, but it can also be quite damaging. That’s why it’s important to maintain your septic system, and that includes taking care of your drain field. The day might come when you need drain field repair, and here are a few things to look out for.

How to Tell if You Need Drain Field Repair

  • Soggy ground: Normally, your lawn shouldn’t be flooding or filling up with puddles. Patches of soggy ground are often a sign of a damaged drain field, which means your drain field isn’t releasing the waste and water as it should.
  • Green patches: It can be pleasant to have a green lawn, but if you’re finding that there are a few patches of grass that are much fuller and greener than the rest, something is likely wrong. When your drain field leaks, the grass takes all that waste and water up, which then results in a bright green color.
  • Bad smells: No one likes to smell foul odors. Another common sign that you need drain field repair is when a sewage scent overtakes your yard and inside your home, which comes from the leaking of nasty trapped air and waste.
