If you’ve noticed wet patches in your yard, there could be something wrong with your septic system.
If you notice unexplained wet patches in your yard even when it hasn’t rained, your septic system may be tossing out the red flag to let you know that something is wrong. Standing water, damp grass, bad odors, and unnaturally green lawn patches are all signs of underlying issues. More often than not, the problem is due to a full septic tank, a damaged pipe, or a malfunctioning drain field.

As mentioned, an overflowing septic tank is one of the leading causes of wet patches in the yard. When the tank is overfilled, wastewater can’t flow correctly through the system. Instead, moisture may rise to the surface and accumulate near the drain field. Clogged leach lines, compacted soil, tree root incursion, and excessive domestic water use can all contribute to the issue.
It is important to understand that ignoring wet patches in your yard can result in greater, more expensive repairs. Saturated earth can eventually create sewage backups inside the home, foul odors outside, and even damage to your landscaping. If you find recurring wet patches near your septic system, give us a call right away so that we can inspect the tank and offer our recommendations.
