Though you may not see your Central Florida septic system at work, but it is busy removing waste day in and day out. Not taking care of the system can be like flushing money down the drain.
The easiest way to deal with a problem with the septic system is before it happens. Which is why having the system inspected and tank pumped out regularly by Orlando Septic Service is quick and affordable.
While it is easy to forget about your septic system, it can end up creating havoc in your home, even threatening the health of your family.
A Few Common Problems Homeowners Experience Include:
Blocked drain pipes due to grease build up
It is almost unavoidable, grease, oil and excess fat go down the kitchen sink. Unfortunately, they build up and solidify. They can block pipes, upsetting the balance in the septic tank and finally ending up in the drain field.
Once in the soil, it won’t be able to do its job of absorbing liquids. So, taking the extra steps to reduce grease and oils down the drain, can save the high costs of replacing your drain field.
Broken or leaking septic tank lines
The septic system is designed to be airtight. This way the waste and disease causing organisms cannot be released. Regular inspections can detect any problems or leaks before there is significant damage.
Sludge build up
When wastewater enters the septic tank, the solids sink to the bottom and becomes sludge. If not pumped out regularly, this sludge rises to the point that it blocks incoming lines. This is when sewage won’t be able to enter the septic tank and will end up backing up into your house.
If you have sewage backing up into your home through the bathtub, sink or toilet, contact Orlando Septic Service to get an honest answer to the problem. It can be a full septic tank, clogged pipe or screen at the outlet, or a saturated drain field. Either way ensure proper precautions are taken when cleaning up the mess so nobody gets sick.
