Drainage Field Assessment
When the field looks wrong
Standing water, lush strips, or smells downslope of the tank often point to a struggling drainage field — especially after wet winters on the fen edge.
A drainage field assessment looks at ground conditions, outlet clues, and how the tank upstream is behaving. High water tables are common in West Norfolk; we factor recent weather into what we say.
You leave with clear next steps — empty, repair, further investigation, or monitor. Often paired with a septic tank survey or plant servicing.
