If you see standing water above your drain field, pungent odors that are taking over the backyard, or your toilets are running slowly or backing up into the house, those are clear signs that something is wrong with your septic system. Some problems can be solved relatively easily. If there is standing water or a sewage odor between the septic tank and the drain field, it may be nothing more than a broken pipe. The repair or replacement of septic pipe is sometimes required when drain clearing efforts do not work.  Primary indicators that a repair or replacement procedure is required include broken, cracked, or collapsed pipe due to shifting soil, frozen ground, or other possible causes; corrosion of an older pipe; leaking joints where the seals between sections of pipe have broken, allowing water and sewage to escape; or an excessive amount of roots in the line that cannot be cleared using a cable machine.
