If your home in the Orlando, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Longwood, Oviedo, Apopka Kissimmee, Daytona or just about anywhere in Central Florida, has a septic tank, then you should be aware of roots from trees and landscaping can damage your septic system.
The three areas of a septic system that require maintenance are the tank, the drain fields, pipes and the waste pipes that connect everything together. Roots can wreak havoc on the system by blocking or even breaking drainage and distribution pipes. Roots can even penetrate the tank.
Roots draw to the moist climate found inside pipes that lead from the house and lead out toward the septic system. They locate and can grow through small cracks or improperly sealed pipes. When they successfully enter the pipes they will rapidly grow and can quickly grow to limit drainage. Slow flushing toilets,a reduction in drainage, patches of green on the drain field, spongy or soaked yard and foul odors emitting from the ground can all be symptoms of root clogged pipes. Temporary fixes such as Plunging the commode or using an auger will work, but in most cases the problem will return.
