In general, septic drain field problems are caused by septic tank problems. If these septic problems are left unabated then there can be dire consequences. SWS has seen drain fields back up into house and damage floors, carperts, and furniture. These septic problems could have been prevented if the owner would have consulted with a septic contractor as what is needed to properly maintain their septic tank.

There are some common problems that cause septic tank drainfield problems. The most common problem is called a bio-mat (biomat) build up. The biomat is built up by organisms that help break down the wastewater coming out of the septic tank. The effluent flows out of the tank and still has small particles of matter that have to be consumed. Also, the water has to be evenly distributed out into the drainfield or the organisms will die or slough off to the bottom of the trench or drainfield. If there is not enough drainfield product (rock and pipe, Infiltrator, PTI, etc.) the organisms die and create a premature failure. If the area becomes overly saturated and not allowed to aerate or dry out then the wastewater will not be treated effectively and the microorganisms die off. Therefore, it is imperative that the septic system is designed for the number of people in the house and the type of soil that the drainfield is installed. The more drainfield you have the longer the system lasts. Four main ingredients cause premature failure or septic problems: too much water, too much organics, poor soils, and poor maintenance by the homeowner.
