Don’t Throw Money Down The Drain!
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) A Homeowner’s Guide to Septic Systems
“A key reason to maintain your septic system is to save money! Failing septic systems are expensive to repair or replace, and poor maintenance is often the culprit. Having your septic system inspected regularly is a bargain when you consider the cost of replacing the entire system. Your system will need pumping depending on how many people live in the house and the size of the system. An unusable septic system or one in disrepair will lower your property value and could pose a legal liability.”

There are a number of reasons why it’s backing up, ensure proper precautions are taken when cleaning up the mess so nobody gets sick.
Why Your Septic System Is Backing Up
If your septic tank isn’t pumped out on a regular basis, the scum and sludge can become thick. This means wastewater has very little space to separate. This allows solids and grease to pass through to the drain field, clogging pipes and not allowing wastewater to be properly absorbed. This often causes a foul odor. Unfortunately, by the time you notice the smell, the damage is done.
Before adding any additives, which are supposed to help your septic tank, check with a septic tank service. Many of these products can do more harm than good. Instead of breaking up scum and sludge like they claim, it can end up killing the important bacteria and reduces the effectiveness of the tank.
