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.
