Had the back yard ripped up today.
Looks like the issue was the effluent filter not staying put and floating up...so over several years it let a ton of crap clog the pipes into the leach field so the water couldn't drain into the matresses. Instead it just took the path of least resistance.
Seems like a pretty basic design flaw.
The good news is that the DEM thinks our system design is still sound, just broken...so we don't need to install an above ground unit which I was fearing. Assuming we get plan approved this may only end up costing 3-4 grand. And I'm considering that lucky...
