Drain Field Repair in Lakeland, FL
Yard soggy over the septic field, or drains slowing down after a storm? The drain field may not be taking water the way it should. We find out why and tell you how to fix it.
Signs of a drain field problem
- Standing water over the field
- Soggy ground or grass greener than the rest of the yard
- Sewage smell outside
- Slow drains in the house
- Problems that get worse after heavy rain
Why fields struggle
A drain field needs dry enough soil to soak up water from the tank. Heavy rain fills the soil and leaves no room. Low spots in a yard hold water longer. Dense soil drains slower than loose, sandy soil. A tank that hasn't been pumped can also push solids out into the lines and clog them.
How we fix it
We diagnose first. The fix depends on what we find.
- Roof or yard water running onto the field can be redirected.
- A pump-out can take pressure off a struggling field.
- If the field is worn out, it needs repair or replacement.
Not sure it is the field?
The same signs can come from a full tank or a broken baffle. A septic inspection sorts that out. If the trouble is in the tank or the lines to it, see septic repair.
