Inadequate Enzymes and Bacteria
Solid waste is broken down by enzymes and bacteria. When there isn’t enough, the waste isn’t broken down and can accumulate as sludge; this is when the incoming and outgoing lines can get obstructed.
Sewer Lines Damage
Though the pipes run underground, the septic tank lines can still get damaged when vehicles or construction equipment drive over them. They can start out as small cracks, but over time water seeps through them and the cracks get larger, which causes more damage.
Blocked Sewer Lines
It is very common for the septic lines to get blocked. Often times it’s from the tree roots penetrated the lines, creating a blockade which stops the waste from going through. Instead of the draining out, the wage water comes back up into your home or seeps into your yard. Either way it’s a mess!!
