Drain field repair and leach field problem routing.
Drain field problems can appear as wet ground, sewage odors, repeated backups, unusually green strips of grass, or a system that does not recover after pumping.
Absorption can be affected by age, overloaded use, compacted soil, shallow restrictive layers, clay pockets, caliche, high water near river corridors, vehicle traffic, or stormwater moving across the field. A service call should identify whether the field can recover or whether repair, replacement, or site review is needed.
County context for field issues
River-influenced areas around San Juan County and the Pecos valley in Eddy County can raise different questions than dry plains properties in Curry County.
