Introduction

A properly functioning drainfield is crucial for the effective and safe disposal of wastewater from your home. Over time, however, various factors can cause damage to your drainfield, leading to clogs, backups, and other issues. Fortunately, at Wade's Plumbing & Septic, we have the knowledge, experience, and tools to provide efficient and reliable drainfield repair and replacement services.

Common Causes of Drainfield Problems

Before we dive into our services, it's important to understand the common causes of drainfield problems. By being aware of these issues, you can take steps to prevent them and ensure your drainfield stays in top condition for years to come.

Overloading

One of the most common causes of drainfield problems is overloading. This occurs when too much water is sent to the drainfield too quickly, overwhelming the system and causing it to fail. Overloading can be caused by a variety of factors, such as excessive water usage, a high number of occupants in the home, or a malfunctioning septic tank.

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree root intrusion is another common cause of drainfield problems. As tree roots grow, they can invade and damage the pipes and other components of your drainfield, leading to clogs and backups. This is especially common in older systems or those located near trees or other large vegetation.

Soil Compaction

Soil compaction can also cause drainfield problems by limiting the amount of water that can be absorbed into the soil. This can be caused by heavy equipment or vehicles driving over the drainfield area, as well as by soil settling over time.

Aging Systems

Finally, aging systems can also contribute to drainfield problems. Over time, pipes can become damaged or corroded, and other components can wear out or fail. This can lead to leaks, clogs, and other issues that require repair or replacement.

Signs of Drainfield Problems

If you suspect that you have drainfield problems, there are several signs to watch out for. These can include:

• Slow draining or backups in your sinks, toilets, or showers
• Foul odors in your home or yard
• Wet or soggy areas in your yard near the drainfield
• Standing water in your yard
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your drains

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call a professional as soon as possible to assess the situation and recommend the best course of action.
