CJ I own a trailer on 10 acres. I created a separate line for the washer to drain onto an area of trees. It will help keep your septic tank from filling fast.

Your septic tank is always full, the reason to get it pumped every 2 to 3 years is to get rid of the solids, but if your drains inside are not draining and you opened the clean out and it’s not full then the problem is from the clean to the house.

1 pump your septic tank, never hurts it's essentially like an oil filter it keeps the sludge out of the leach lines and keeps just water going in there. not sure how it is in Florida but in NY after the tank is a distribution box (d-box). d-box could have a buildup of sludge in it so only one line is getting a majority of water hence the reason only one spot on the lawn is green. could try cleaning the d-box (pumping it out just like tank and getting sludge out) and lines with a high pressure water jet (or garden hose if you're trying to DIY) if your whole leach field was completely failing it would usually be oversaturated and the whole lawn would be green and that clean out would be full of water when using things/ overflowing. hopefully this helps!

Get it pumped, then add acti-zyme or a similar septic tank treatment down it and down your plumping. But also reduce a bit of water going down there for a bit.

You’ll have to get it pumped no matter what so start there then you can camera the drain field and see if your fucked idk about Florida but where I’m at they won’t let you do a drain field with out being certified so good luck lol

Pump tank and clean filter. If still having problems dig the dbox up (usually 2ft from tank) if it’s full of water the lines need replacing.

At a minimum, clean your filter first. Then have it pumped.

Septics operate full but they should be pumped every 3-5 years so solids don’t clog the leech field. Ask your septic company if they’ll do a sludge test and that’ll tell you if it needs pumped or not.

Hey brother I would definitely start with getting the tank pumped. Then if you’re still having problems investigate further.

Best thing you could do is take your grey water and separate it from your septic and you should pump out your tank every 3-5 years depending on the size of your tank

Get it pumped and it’ll give the drain field a little time to bleed and dry out. If that makes sense. May have a drain pipe failed also. Pumping it is where I would start

pump your tank, they can inject air into the leach field to get a few more years out of the field.
ac, don't forget to clean your A-coil inside the HVAC unit inside the house.

The lines are clogged, check where the lines come together.

Dead spot is where the tank is, not everything goes into the field so the tank needs to be pumped, if it backs up again after that theres a clog somewhere and a new field may be necessary
