Around here you used to be able to run your washer to a dry well, but they outlawed it about twenty years ago. I once expanded a weak system with a trench filled with stone. It worked, but don't get caught doing it now. I used to pick up the bleach that I sold at a packing plant. I used to see septic tank pumpers picking up concentrated hydrogen peroxide. I asked one of them about it, and he told me that they dump it in to the field at the D-box to burn out the solids that got into the field because the tank didn't get pumped. It is good advice to dig up your D-box and check it because it is possible that it settled to one side, and only half your field is getting used. Most likely your field is done and will need to be replaced, unless your neighbors are a long way off. I have seen (and smelled) leachate running down the roadside for years and nothing being done, but not so likely these days.
