 Diagnosing Clogged Drains & Septic System Backups: Is it a blocked drain or the septic system? - A First Step for ...
When a building drain is clogged or slow, or when there is a septic system backup, it's important to determine where the problem lies, since the repair steps can be quite different and costs can vary widely.
Un-clogging a drain line, or excavating and repairing a crushed or broken drain line outside the building is typically a much less costly repair than replacement of a septic tank, drain field, or seepage system.
Again, a blocked drain line exiting a septic tank, or a failure in the distribution box (connecting the septic tank to the network of drainfield lines, seepage pits or galleys) the repair needed may be local and modest in expense.

For the side drain cross-section geometry, the change of seepage areas of the trench and the change of seepage lengths for each water level increment analyzed are calculated and adjusted by the program using the initial geometry of the trench specified by the user.
In some cases, when the single drain is excessively long and hydraulically inefficient, it is better to separate the drain into two equal sections and connect them to the outfall structure, effectively decreasing the length to 1/2 and improving the hydraulic grade line of the overall drain system.
If the drain pipe is not submerged at the point of discharge, this value shall be equal to the invert elevation of the pipe or lower, and it will not be used in the calculations.
