Does your septic system have a check engine light? Warning the home or business owner they need upcoming maintenance. Your car can tell you when it needs fuel, oil, your tire needs air and even let you know when you’re backing into something. Unfortunately, septic systems don’t have a light to alert you when they need something, but there are some signs there is a problem.
Foul odor, such as a ‘rotten egg’, coming from either the outside or inside of your home, during the decomposition process gases can be released making a foul odor.
A black slimly liquid in the down slope pipes or drain field.
Gurgling sounds coming from the toilet, drains or plumbing system.
Damp soil or standing water around the septic tank or drain field.
Bright green and lush grass or soggy areas in the yard.
Sewage backing up into the bathtub or toilets.
Plumbing back ups and slow drains.
If you notice water rising to the surface of the drain field when you do laundry, use a lot of water or during a heavy rain.If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need a total sewage system replacement.
Ignoring these septic signs will eventually lead to really big problems, such as percolating into the drinking water.
