Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
A failing drain field shows as standing water or spongy ground over the field, bright-green grass there, sewage smells outdoors, and slow drains that persist after pumping. These mean effluent is surfacing instead of soaking in. Have it inspected quickly — early action can sometimes avoid a full replacement.
