  1. Foul Smells coming from the area around the septic tank, sewer pipe or drainfield that smells something like rotten eggs.
  1. Slow Drains with a Gurgling Sound as the water is going down the drain could indicate that the tank needs pumping.
  1. Pooling Water or Soggy Soil in your yard near the drain field points to a clogged or overwhelmed sewage system.
  1. Unusually Lush Grass above the drain field section of your lawn may mean that too much liquid is leaking out of the treatment area.
  1. Green Algae growth is an indication that you could have a broken sewage pipe or pipes are clogged.
