It’s important to know the signs of septic system failure to prevent expensive problems in the first place and to keep them from worsening over time. Many business owners and new homeowners end up having to pay through the nose for repairs and replacements simply because of their lack of knowledge about septic systems. Al’s Septic Tank Service is here to help you know the signs that you need a repair.
Puddles are one of the best indicators that your septic system has a problem. These pools will appear along the drain field or near your underground pipes. You may also notice that your shower, tub or sink drains are draining slowly or making gurgling sounds. This is because the septic system can’t keep up with the amount of water going into it.
Unfortunately, septic system failure is often accompanied by a foul smell from the tank itself, from the drain field, or even from within the house in the case of a backup. If the odor is detectable inside your home, call us as soon as you can, as sewage inside the house is a health hazard and leads to expensive repairs.
