I had the same problem and installed a clean out at the head of each major
run of the field. It was gross but having the cleanout saved a lot of
digging in the following seasons.

So I should get a shovel and start digging on the output side of the
septic
tank. I'm assuming the pipes are fairly easy to find and follow. Any tips
or tricks or just start digging?

Leech field may need to be reworked or, as was in my case, one of my
pipes
was blocked going into the tank. After snaking them all out, and power
washing with a power nozzle on the hose, the problem went away.

During the winter my septic system backed up into my basement
laundry
tubs
so I had the tank pumped, (it had not been done in quite a few
years).
Now
that the snow has melted I notice that whenever I do a load of
laundry,
water puddles over top of the septic tank. After a while it drains
away.
What would be causing this to happen?
Sounds like your drainfield has failed......
