Today, I noticed that the area where the tank discharges to the leach field is soggy and the grass is noticeably greener than the grass on other parts of the property. The soggy area is about 10 feet in diameter. There is no noticeable odor in this area (I brushed my hand over the wet area and smelled it). We had a particularly wet winter. I don't know if this situation is new, as this was our second winter in this house and I did not notice anything last spring. Do I have cause for concern, and, if so, what should I do?
Thanks for any suggestions.
