When your Central Florida septic system isn’t working properly, it can be a very messy situation! While it is vital to have your septic tank pumped and system inspected on a regular basis, it is easy to forget.

Which is why it is important to recognize any signs of system failure. It can go a long way in preventing small issues from becoming big problems.

Water or sewage from sinks, drains, or toilets are backing up into the home.

The drain in the kitchen or bathroom have become slow.

The plumbing system or toilet is making a gurgling sounds.

Damp areas or standing water outside near the drainfield or septic tank.

You notice a foul odor either in the house or around the septic tank.

Lush green spongy grass growing over the drainfield or septic tank, especially if it hasn’t been raining.

Your well water has high levels of coliform bacteria or nitrates.

Unfortunately, a malfunctioning or failing septic system can not only end up being very costly in repairs, it can also be a hazard to the health of your family, pets, and the environment.

A very common question we get here at Orlando Septic Services is, Why is my septic system not working properly?

The fact is, there are several reasons.

A plumbing pipe going to the septic tank is clogged. This happens quite often. It is easy to let grease and other stuff go down the drain, next thing you know, they are slow. Instead of using hazardous chemicals that can do more harm than good, hydro jetting is a much better option. It is very effective and safe for plumbing pipes.

If you haven’t had your septic tank pumped in a couple of years, is another reason it is malfunctioning.

Tree roots can grow into pipes, filters can become clogged, all it takes is a small piece of dental floss to get tangled in the motor to cause chaos!
