Maintaining a healthy septic system in Central Florida is vital for longevity and proper functioning of your home’s wastewater. Not having your septic tank pumped on a regular basis and turn into a stinky mess.
Here are some common problems the team at Orlando Septic Services often hears about
Problem
Every now and then I hear strange noises such as gurgling and belches coming from my toilets and septic tank, sometimes it even backs up into the house!
Solution
You may have tried snaking it (a long snake-like piece of equipment used to unclog drains) but the problem keeps coming back. It may be necessary to contact the professionals at Orlando Septic Services, they will be able to scope out the situation with a camera to find out exactly what is going on and then fix it once and for all.
Problem
The septic system seems to be working, it’s not backing up and there’s no smell, but the vegetation around the tank seems to be disappearing.
Solution
If the vegetation is dying around the tank, something is poisoning it….and it’s probably you! Septic systems are only designed to handle human waste; toxic materials shouldn’t be put into it. Toxic items induce, cleaners, bleach, paint thinner, grease, motor oil, gasoline and heavy cleaner. Always clean your home with all natural and organic cleaners.
If you notice vegetation disappearing around your septic tank, it’s time to call the professionals at Orlando Septic before you need to replace it.
Problem
It’s been years since you’ve had the septic tank pumped out and you have decided to wait until it starts giving you problems to have it done.
Solution
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, routine maintenance and pumping end up being much less expensive.
