Odors, surfacing sewage, or wet spots in the drainfield area.
- Plumbing or septic tank backups (often a black liquid with a disagreeable odor).
- Slow draining fixtures.
- Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
- If you have a well and tests show the presence of coliform (bacteria) or nitrates, your drainfield may be failing.
- Standing liquid over the drainfield, even during dry weather. This may indicate an excessive amount of effluent is moving up through the soil, instead of downward.
