  • Slow drains could indicate a problem somewhere in your septic system. It means the wastewater isn’t flowing properly or being disposed of correctly. So, as soon as you notice those drains slowing down, don’t ignore them. Call us to discuss septic field replacement or repair.

  • Wet patches may be caused by a saturated drain field. Simply put, the soil can’t properly absorb wastewater. It has been overloaded. It could be the result of physical damage to the pipes, as well as clogs or a system overload. Either way, our technicians will get to the bottom of the problem.

  • Poor drainage can lead to bad smells. It may also produce strange noises as trapped air escapes your plumbing. These issues aren’t normal and could indicate that you need residential septic field repair. Call Mr. Rooter® to take the next step.
