- High Water Table. If the water table is too high, it can make it hard for the sewage to drain from the drain field, which can cause it to become saturated and fail. This can happen when there is a high amount of rain in a short time frame or when water from higher elevations spreads into the soil surrounding your home.
- Inconsistent Pumping. Your septic system needs regular maintenance. If you don’t pump the septic tank on a regular basis, solids can build up in it, which can make the system less effective and necessitate drain field repair.
- Not Noticing the Signs. If you have a septic system, it’s important to understand what signs indicate an issue with the system. Things like slow drains, gurgling in the pipes, and unpleasant smells might all point toward the need for drain field repair. Our team can assess your system on a regular basis, helping you maintain it.
The best way to ensure the health of your septic system is through regular inspections. If you’re concerned that you might need drain field repair, contact our team today.
