Most septic tanks have concrete or plastic "baffles" (or effluent filters) at the inlet and outlet. These prevent scum from leaving the tank. When these become clogged with non-biodegradable materials or hardened grease, wastewater has nowhere to go.
Your tank has baffles (or a tee) on the inlet and outlet sides to prevent scum from leaving the tank. Over time, concrete tanks crack, and steel baffles rust away. A broken baffle allows solids to float directly out of the tank and into your drain field pipes, clogging the small perforations immediately.
Septic failure rarely happens overnight. Your system will usually display several warning signs that indicate a backup is imminent:
Slow Drains: If every sink, tub, and toilet in the house is draining slowly, the bottleneck is likely at the main tank or the pipe leading to it.
