A septic filter packed with debris can restrict the entire system.
During a service visit with a subscriber, the technician discovers that the septic filter is completely clogged. Septic filters are designed to prevent solids from entering the drain field, but they require occasional cleaning. When filters become blocked with debris, wastewater flow slows down and can cause plumbing backups inside the home. Regular filter inspections are an important part of septic system maintenance and help extend the life of the drain field.
