Gurgling Sounds Coming From The Pipes Or Toilet
It can almost sound like your bathroom is haunted, with the strange sounds. You run the water or hear gurgling sounds, it is an indication of a problem.
Issues With Flushing The Toilet
If a plunger doesn’t work when the toilet is slow to flush or not flush at all, it’s probably a problem with the septic system. It’s possible the tank is full and just needs pumping out.
Slow Drains
If you notice the drains in the bathroom and kitchen, bathtub or shower draining slowly, it very well may be the septic system.
Water Backing Up
Does water start backing up into the bathtub or sink, when you run the washing machine? Don’t wait to call in a professional septic service.
Bad Odors
The nose knows when there is something wrong. If you smell a hint of rotten eggs or sulfur, you have a problem. The smell may get stronger as you go closer to the system outside.
Greener Grass
It’s a tale tell sign, greener grass over the septic area. If the tank is leaking or the drain field is failing, the grass will enjoy the additional fertilizer and growing faster and greener.
For a healthy septic system and avoid problems, you should have it inspected and serviced by the dedicated professionals at Orlando Septic System.
