If one of the lines continually gets flooded the bacteria will die
off as they can't get air. Once they die the sludge in the pipe
and stone isn't digested anymore so the flooding gets worse and
worse yet the nasty stuff isn't being broken down before
surfacing.

On a drainfield this can happen progressivly starting at the
lowest branch to the highest (ie where the most water goes)
often a ruinest drainfield can be revived by just letting it set a
few years.

Fats and lint are the number one enemy of septic fields as said
above but most towns won't let grey water from your washer
leave to a dry well.

Many people think soap from a washer hurts but the old
phosphate soaps can help bacteria bloom if it isn't too
concentrated.
