In a perfect world, we would never have to replace our refrigerator, air conditioner or even light bulbs. But every day wear and tear takes a toll, replacements are inevitable. The same goes with your septic system.
The average lifespan of a septic tank is about 25 years. But that all depends on the size of the household, the usage, and maintenance routine. As the system gets older, the more problems they have.
Signs Your Septic Tank Needs To Be Replaced
Frequent Backups
Slow drains, bathtubs backing up, toilets flushing slow or gurgling, are all signs of a problem. While a single back-up may not mean you need to replace the whole septic system, it can be pointing to a larger issue.
Persistent Foul Odors
Bad smells and back-ups go hand in hand. Reoccurring odors are never a good sign. It typically means one of the components of the septic system has a leak or the tank is full that the gases are coming back through the drains.
Standing Water in the Yard
Unexplained puddles, typically near the drain field, is a sign the septic system is compromised or not able to do its job properly. This should be addressed as soon as possible, since it can affect the drinking water. We all love beautiful green grass, but when it comes to extremely lush grass near the septic system, there may be a problem.

Nobody wants to deal with septic problems or replacement, but when you do, knowing who to call for affordable and quality service can help.
