Discussing the Risks of Driving Over a Septic Drain Field

Hello! It's generally advised against driving over your septic drain field. The weight of a vehicle can compress the soil and potentially cause damage to the drain pipes or the tank itself.

The damage can range from cracks in the pipes to more serious issues like collapsed structures. This can create a blockage or cause sewage to surface, which is a significant health risk.

If you have driven over it already, you might want to get a professional to inspect the system to ensure that there isn't any damage. In the future, try to keep vehicles off the field as much as possible. Even regular lawn mowing should be done carefully.

You're welcome! Just remember, maintaining your septic system properly can save you from significant problems and costs in the future. For any other questions, always feel free to ask!
