What Causes a Drain Field to Go Bad?

Drain field failure occurs when the soil surrounding a septic system is no longer able to efficiently absorb and treat wastewater, causing a sewage backup into the home or yard. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including overloading the system with too much waste, clogged pipes, soil compaction, invasion of tree roots, or poor installation. 

This problem can lead to unpleasant sewage odors, sewage backup, and potential health hazards, making it important to address any issues promptly with professional help. Turn to Smart Plumbers & Rooters for a septic tank inspection today to ensure your system is functioning properly.

    What Are Some Signs of a Broken-Down Septic Tank?

    Because your septic tank is underground, it can be difficult to recognize when it needs a repair. We recommend becoming familiar with the warning signs of a broken-down septic tank so you know when to call a professional plumber. 

    Below are 6 signs you need to repair or replace your septic tank:

    1. Foul odors: If you notice a persistent sewage smell in or around your home, this could be a sign of a septic tank leak.
    2. Slow-draining fixtures: If your sinks, toilets, or showers are slow to drain or are backing up, this could indicate that your septic tank is full or experiencing a blockage.
    3. Wet areas in the yard: If you notice wet or soggy areas in your yard near the septic tank or drain field, this could be a sign that the tank is overflowing or leaking.
    4. Unusual noises: If you hear gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your drains or toilet, this could indicate an overflowing septic tank.
    5. Lush grass: If you notice that the grass above your septic tank or drain field is particularly lush or green, this could indicate that sewage is fertilizing the area.
    6. Sewage backups: If sewage is backing up into your home through your sinks, toilet, or shower drains, this is a clear sign of a septic tank issue and requires immediate attention.

    It’s important to address issues you’re your septic tank promptly to avoid further damage or costly repairs. Call Smart Plumbers & Rooters to schedule a septic tank repair in Santa Clara.

    Why Install a Septic Tank?

    Septic systems are installed to treat and dispose of wastewater from homes in areas without access to public sewer systems. They are an efficient and cost-effective way to treat wastewater by using natural processes to break down solid waste and filter the water before it is returned to the environment. This helps to protect the environment and public health by preventing contaminated water from entering nearby streams, lakes, or groundwater sources. 

    Additional benefits of septic tanks include:

    • Low maintenance: Properly installed and maintained septic systems require little maintenance, making them a hassle-free option for homeowners in rural areas. 
    • Long lifespan: A well-designed and maintained septic system can last for many years, providing reliable wastewater treatment and disposal. 
    • Increased property value: Installing a septic system can increase the value of your property, especially in areas where public sewer systems are not available.
    • Water conservation: Septic systems use less water than traditional municipal sewer systems, which can help to conserve water resources in areas where water is scarce. 

    Think you might want to install a septic system on your property? Smart Plumbers & Rooters is here to walk you through your options and determine if a septic system is the right solution for your needs.
