I would say your leach field is looking fine.

It doesn't tell us anything about your tank, or if it is near needing a pumping or not.

When the tank fills up - can be in a year or can be in 40 years, depends on how big it is and how many people are using it and how they use it - it starts letting the solids leak out into the lines, and they will fill up with a sticky slime of solids, and then your leach field is ruined.

You don't know that's happening until after it is really to late to fix the problem.

So it's smart for a person to pump the tank a few times, and try to learn how fast or slow your particular lifestyle fills up your particular tank.

Then you can figure if you need to pump every year, or every 20 years.

It would seem your lines are working well today.

We don't know how your tank is funtioning.
