Why do my drains slow down after several consecutive loads of laundry?
Short Answer: The system may not be recovering between large wastewater discharges.
Detailed Answer: Multiple laundry loads can add hundreds of gallons of water in a short period. If the drain field, pump system, or outlet filter has reduced capacity, drainage performance often deteriorates progressively.
