Septic symptom helper
Describe what's going on (slow drains, backups, odors, wet spots, lush grass over the field). Optional photo. Guidance follows EPA / extension septic-care themes: inspect regularly, pump based on solids, protect the drainfield. Not a diagnosis.
Urgent: Sewage backing up into the house, strong sewage odor indoors, or pooling wastewater outdoors — stop unnecessary water use and call a licensed septic pumper / plumber now.
Free AI reads used. Use the pumping interval calculator and call a local pumper.

Themes aligned with EPA “How to Care for Your Septic System” (inspect 1–3 years, pump as needed, don’t park on the drainfield, fix leaks). Always confirm with a licensed septic professional.
