In last week’s blog we talked about the important of having routine maintenance and pumping your septic tank on a regular basis. While it may not be on the top of your ‘to do list’, it can save you thousands of dollars in repairs and a lot of frustration.
A septic tank can leak for several reasons, delayed maintenance, using too many cleaning products and damaged pipes.
Look for the signs of a leaking septic tank
Odor
A strong odor is a telltale sign there is something wrong with your septic system. This unpleasant smell is difficult to miss. If you experience this odor, contact Orlando Septic Service right away, before the problem gets worse.
Slow Drains
Slow drains or waste water backing up in bathtubs or sinks signifies there is a problem. Also, listen for the sound of gurgling toilets. Waiting to have your septic tank pumped can cause serious damage
Lush Green Grass
If you notice lush green or spongy grass growing on or around the drain field or septic tank, especially if it hasn’t been raining. The moisture in the soil can be elevated when the drain field is beginning to fail, make the grass grow better.
Standing Water in the Yard
Unexplained puddles, typically near the drain field, is a sign the septic system is compromised or not able to do its job properly. This should be addressed as soon as possible, since it can affect the drinking water.
Not Sure What To Do
Nobody wants to deal with septic problems or replacement, but when you do, knowing who to call for affordable and quality service can help.
Don’t Ignore Your Septic System
Annual septic system inspection. Though nobody wants the extra expense, in the long run it can save you thousands. So look at is as an investment. Catching and repairing a small issue is a lot easier than dealing with replacing a drain field or raw sewage backing up in your bathtub.
