To avoid problems and back-ups, your first defense is septic pumping and maintenance.
Red Flags Your Septic System Raises
Foul Odors
If you smell something that just isn’t right, it could be in your home coming from a drain or when you walk into the backyard, you may have a septic problem. It can be anything from a musty odor to a rotten egg smell or even raw sewage. Which ever it may be, the longer it is allowed to continue, the more it will cost to repair.
Slow And Clogged Drains
Slow drains can occur for many reasons, something clogging the pipes, grease build up, tree roots, broken pipes, a full septic tank and the list goes on and on. You may think the easiest solution is to get some drain cleaner and put it down the drain. But all those chemicals can have devastating consequences on your pipes and septic system.
Wet Grass When It Hasn’t Rained
If it hasn’t rained and you notice the grass is wet or even a pool of water over your drain field. Then it’s probably time to have your septic tank pumped. It is also important to remember, don’t let anyone step or play in this water, they may get sick.
Sewer Backing Ups and Toilets Gurgling
If raw sewage is backing up into your bathtub or shower. The toilets are not flushing right or making a gurgling noise. Can make for a hazardous situation and it is definitely time to call in the professionals.
Greener Than Usual Grass
If you notice the grass over the septic tank is greener than the rest of your yard. It usually means it is getting extra fertilizer from the septic tank that is too full.
Ignoring septic odors will eventually lead to really big problems, such as percolating into the drinking water.
