Any ground water/septic expert?

Hi,

This is a more technical question, I have a house with brand new septic system installed, absolutely new drain field and we realised it already saturated in 3 months!! was expected to take around 15-20 years! I checked there are no plumbing leakages from the house, the water is not coming from the drain of the house. There was an older drain field (also saturated, hence the need for the new one) but that one was working fine for years. Its not the soil (soil perc test done). Water table as the county says is not that high. Any ideas how this can happen! There is really nothing I can do to even buy time, I have tenants in that property. Any suggestion what can I try next to diagnose this?

Thanks!
