| What is septic system failure? |
A septic system should effectively accept liquid wastes from your house and prevent biological and nutrient contaminates from getting into your well or nearby lakes and streams. Anytime these do not happen, the system is failing.
For example, when waste backs up into your backyard, the system has obviously failed. If significant amounts of biological or nutrient contaminants reach your well or surface waters, the system is also failing even though it may appear the system is working fine.
