At Marion Pumper, we understand the essential role your septic system plays in maintaining your overall comfort, and we are here to help you keep your system in excellent condition. If you suspect you have a problem with any part of your system, don’t hesitate to give us a call to get the effective repairs you need. In this article, we will focus on the drain field, going over a few signs you need drain field repair.
- Standing Water – The purpose of the drain field is to filter harmful substances out of wastewater and then let that water seep back into the ground. If your drain field is malfunctioning, you will likely see persistent puddles develop on your lawn over the drain field pipes. This indicates that water is leaking out of your drain field pipes faster than it should.
- Unusual Grass Growth – Another sign you may need drain field repair is unusual growth patterns on your lawn. If parts of your lawn become unusually green and lush, then it could mean the grass is being fertilized by runoff from your septic drain field. We encourage you to give our team a call if this happens so we can inspect your system for leaks.
- Septic Odors – A third sign you need drain field repair services is the presence of septic odors around your yard. If you get a whiff of sewage when you stand near your drain field, you should give us a call as soon as possible so we can inspect your system. We will identify the source of the issue and correct it, so your home and yard go back to smelling fresh and clean.
