I just had my tank pumped as it was full and my house had backed up due to a plug of tp. It has been 7 years since the last pump and we have had no problems at all. It's just two of us in the house. After pumping the tank the drain field water proceeded to run back into the tank and fill it almost half full. The drain field consists of 6 pipes 25' long over a bed of gravel 28'' deep covered by about 30" of fill dirt. There are no wet spots over the entire drain field.
My septic guy has recommended a full drain field replacement
My question is two fold. Where did all that water come from?
Is a drain field replacement needed in this situation
Thanks for any insight
