While it’s easy to overlook some common signs that your septic system needs service, in the end it will cost you! Here are a few indicators you should never ignore when it comes to your Central Florida septic system
Strange Noises
If your toilet or drains are making some strange gurgling sounds or seem to be slower than normal, it typically means your septic tank is full and needs to be pumped. Waiting too long could end up causing damage to the system.
Foul Odor
If you smell something that just isn’t right, it could be in your home coming from a drain or when you walk into the backyard, you may have a septic problem. It can be anything from a musty odor to a rotten egg smell or even raw sewage. Which ever it may be, the longer it is allowed to continue, the more it will cost to repair.
Wet Grass
If it hasn’t rained and you notice the grass is wet or even a pool of water, it is probably time to have your septic tank pumped. It is also important to remember, don’t let anyone step or play in this water, they may get sick.
Slow Drains
Slow drains can occur for many reasons, something clogging the pipes, grease build-up, tree roots, broken pipes, a full septic tank and the list goes on and on. Though you may think the easiest solution is to get some drain cleaner and put it down the drain, but they typical cause more harm.
Greener Grass
If you notice the grass over the septic tank is greener than the rest of your yard, usually means it is getting extra fertilizer from the septic tank that is too full.
Ignoring septic odors will eventually lead to really big problems, such as percolating into the drinking water. The good news is it can be easily fixed by the professionals at Orlando Septic Services.
