What a failing drain field looks like

The drain field is the part of a septic system that spreads liquid from the tank into the soil. When the soil stops absorbing it, you may see slow drains, gurgling pipes, odors, wet ground over the field or sewage backing up in the house. Sewage backing up is a health risk, so do not wait on that one.

A wet yard does not always mean you need a whole new field. A broken line, a blocked box or roots can cause the same symptoms, and a pro can tell the difference. That is why we suggest you talk to someone who can look at your system before you decide anything.

We are a referral service. We connect Gainesville-area homeowners with local septic pros. We are not a contractor, we do not quote prices and we do not do the work. You deal with the pro directly.

Check before you hire: Before you hire anyone, ask for their Florida license or registration number and check it with the state. Ask for proof of liability coverage, a written scope of work and a written contract. Septic work in Florida generally needs a permit, so ask who pulls it.
