"a trench system in place."

I don't understand your term "Trench System.". Are you saying you have the "Infiltrator Chamber System?"
As seen in this article:
https://www.thenaturalhome.com/infiltrator.htm

I am only aware of the 4 inch PVC perforated pipes & the Infiltrator Chamber.
See this video for a clogged up infiltrator chamber:

Start at 13 minutes. It is impossible to believe that the chambers were packed with solid sludge for 50 ft!
No amount of hydro blasting would have cleaned out those chambers. Ditto for terralift.

============================
Maybe you are referring to this:
Trench: Drain field trenches effectively treat liquid flowing from the septic tank. A drainfield trench is generally 18 to 36 inches wide and up to 100 feet long. The trench contains a perforated 4 inch pipe in a bed of 3/4-inch to 2-inch diameter rock covered by natural or synthetic permeable fibers. Some soil treatment systems use large plastic tubing or some other chamber wrapped with fabric in the trench in place of rock. A 6- to 12-inch deep layer of topsoil covers the trench. Sewage flows through the holes in the 4 inch distribution pipe, to the rock (or tube), through the biomat, and into the soil. Bacteria and fine sewage solids are removed or destroyed in this process.
===========================
The 4 inch pipe needs to be hydro blasted. and your risers need to give access to these pipes. Usually from one or more distribution boxes.

PS) Don't let them bully you. My Septic Plumber lied to me just to sell me a new system. They have no financial incentive to repair your system. They want that $30,000 Prize!

Please keep us informed & best to you,

Grizz
