A septic tank emergency can ruin any plans, from having guests over this fall or even a quiet evening at home. All septic systems are a big investment and need to be annually inspected by a professional. During the inspection the technician will determine how full the tank is and ensure the system is processing waste properly.
The leach or drain field will be inspected to look for any blockage and if the waste water is being processed the way it should. the drains and filters will also be inspected and any issues will be discussed. A few signs to watch for include; gurgling pipes, a pooling or puddling in the yard, slow pipes, and an odor outside or inside your home.
There’s nothing worse than a septic tank emergency, avoid pouring grease down the drain, over use of the garbage disposal, flushing trash down the toilet, parking vehicles on the drain field, chemicals that kill the bacteria that breaks down waste and inform your guests about the basics on septic care.
Routine septic maintenance will help your system run smoothly especially over the holidays when there can be more stress put on the tank and you can also avoid costly repairs in the long run.
