Septic System Maintenance · Step 9 of 10

Dominic elaborates on drain field failure. He points out that if there's standing water or a 'swampy' area around the septic system, especially after heavy rain, it's a clear sign that the drain field is saturated and can no longer absorb water. In such cases, the water from the septic tank has nowhere to go but to back up, potentially into the house, such as a bathtub.
