Signs of Drainfield Problems

A drain field is one of the most important locations for septic systems. Due to their important function, they face many issues. These issues show many signs to homeowners. However, if a homeowner doesn’t know the language of these signs, they will have trouble understanding the problem. To inform everyone, we gathered some information. Throughout this article, we will go through the signs of drain field problems, like sewage smell in your house, standing water in the drain field, seeing a greener garden, hearing gurgling sounds, facing sewage backups, and how Septic Blue can help.

Sewage Odor In Your House

If you can hear a sewage odor in your house continuously, this can mean that some of the sewage may be running in your house or that the septic tank pumping system isn’t working properly. If this is the cause, waste will build in the waterway in the drainfield. This can result in contaminants entering your house and health problems. Other cases that can cause this is a drain backup. However, professional detection is important. Call Septic Blue to learn more.

Standing Water In the Drain Field

One of the biggest signs of a drain field problem is seeing standing water near the field. When you come near it, you should feel certain parts of your yard being soggy. There can be a couple of reasons for this. For example, it may be a pipe burst that needs a plumbing repair, or it can be caused by the septic tank. If the septic system fails, it will not absorb the water properly. Learn more about getting your septic tank repair.

Greener Garden

Just like seeing standing water in the drain field, seeing green patches around your yard is another red flag. If your garden looks beautiful all of a sudden with a horrible smell and soggy soil, the plants are getting nutrients from an outside source, and something is wrong.

Gurgling Sounds

Do you hear gurgling or bubbling sounds in your drains? You can hear these sounds when air is trapped in a plumbing system or when there is a failed septic system. If you start to hear these sounds consistently, call a professional right away.

Sewage Backup

Lastly, you may start to commonly come across problems with your drains and toilet. You may have absorbed a slow flushing and drainage system. In some cases, you may even see the water backup which shows a full septic tank. You must contact a professional septic tank company immediately to resolve the problem.
