Does your Orlando or Seminole County home or business has a septic tank? It is easy to forget about the septic system, just stop to think about how much we depend on it every day. Everything that goes down the kitchen sink, shower, bathtub, bathroom drain, and washing machine all ends up in the septic tank. It is important to take care of the septic system to avoid a terrible mess and expense.
Some of the warning signs of septic problems include, sinks and bathtubs slow to drain, gurgling sounds coming from the pipes or toilets, foul smell like rotten eggs or sulfur, standing water over the septic drain field, or raw sewage backing up into the home or business through drains. Ignoring the septic system or allow it to go un-serviced for too long it could end up costing you thousands of dollars in repairs or even replacing the tank or drain field.
Here are a few maintenance tips:
Drain Cleaning: Never any fun, clogged drains not only make showers and sinks slow, they can also wreak havoc on how your septic systems process waste water. It is important to have your drains cleaned out to avoid harmful clogs.
Septic Repair: Stay proactive, if you notice odd odors in your home or near your septic tank, your sinks and toilets are slow or backing up, you have any wet or soggy areas in your yard near the drain field, you may have a problem. Postponing contacting Orlando Septic Services will only make the matter worse.
Septic Tank Pumping: If you can’t remember when the last time you had your septic tank pumped, it’s probably been too long. You may not see any obvious signs, but damage is still being done. Water flows out of the septic tank into the drain field and the solids remain, eventually becoming sludge on the bottom of the tank. Over time the solids build up and if it’s not removed it backs up into the house or into the drain field. Both can result in costly repairs and even replacement of the drain field, routine maintenance and pumping end up being much less expensive.
