3 Easy Steps To Maintain Your Healthy Septic System
Proper septic system care involves regular pumping every 3-5 years and being mindful of what goes down the drain by avoiding flushing chemicals, grease, wipes, and hygiene products. You can protect your Leach Field by avoiding planting trees near the lines, driving over the top of the system or building porches, patios or structures on it.
Signs Your Septic Tank Needs to be Pumped
Gurgling Sounds - If you hear gurgling noises in your drains when you when you use water in your home, it can indicate that the septic system is struggling to drain properly.
Slow Draining Fixtures - If your sinks, toilets, and showers are draining slower than usual, it could be a sign of a clogged or failing leach field.
Sewage Odors - A sewage smell in your yard or even inside your house is a clear sign of a septic system problem. This odor is often caused by wastewater backing up or gases escaping from a malfunctioning leach field.
Standing Water or Wet Spots - If you have pooling water or unusually wet patches around the leach field area, this could be an indication that the wastewater is not being absorbed into the ground and needs to be inspected by technician.
Backups in your home - In severe cases, a failing leach field can lead to sewage backups into your home's drains, toilets, and showers.
