One of the biggest responsibilities as a homeowner here in Central Florida, is maintaining your septic system. Though you may not want to think about it, there are many regulations and rules that need to be followed. This is because the damaging effects it can have on the environment if your septic system fails. Toxic gas, sulfates and other ground water pollutants can be released into the environment, if your septic system is not properly maintained.
Besides the effects on the environment, a failing septic system can also take a toll on your wallet, costly repairs, blockages and backups. Most professionals recommend regular septic tank pumping (typically every three years) and annual inspections
Look for these tale tell signs of a septic problem
Clogs
If just a sink in the bathroom is backed up, it is probably just clogged. But if all the drains in your home seem to be slow, it may be the septic system. If the toilets are gurgling after you flush them or have raw sewage backing up in the bathtub, it is time to call in the professionals.
Foul Odors
Whether there is an smell within the building you can’t put your finger on, a funny smell coming from drain lines, or you notice a foul odor when you walk outside, it is typically comes from your septic or sewer lines. It may be an easy repair, but the longer you wait, the more damage it is doing.
Green Lush Patches of Landscape
We all love a great looking yard, but if you notice some areas doing much better and looking healthier than the rest, it probably isn’t just random luck. It is more likely a septic problem, possibly a leak or damaged drain field. It also means it can be contaminating the drinking water.
