One of the most important components of any property is a septic tank, particularly for homes without a central sewer system. To be frank, these systems are frequently forgotten since they're out of sight. However, in order to not face a failing septic system in the future, routine septic pumping and cleaning are crucial. Of course, even after preventive measures, problems can still occur, and when this happens, the most important point is to avoid ignoring the problem because it will rapidly worsen into expensive emergencies. In this article, we will go over some of the signs that tell you to act quickly and contact a qualified plumber.
Be very cautious about slow drains; sometimes, they do not only mean basic hair and soap residue and can actually serve as a warning before your home is flooded by your septic system. Most of the time, various materials such as non-flushable objects that are flushed, oils, and food scraps that aren’t suitable for garbage disposal could be the cause of the issue.
Another warning sign that shows your septic system is malfunctioning is the pooling water. You can check the lawn around your drain field to see if there is standing water or damp areas. If there is standing water, then there are solid waste particles in the tank, and when the wastewater cannot find anywhere else to go, it will naturally rise to the surface and form areas that are visibly damp.
Even though many people associate bad odors with septic systems, a functional septic system should never emit strong odors, and if you detect constant unpleasant odors around your place, especially from your drains or area of the septic tank, you should take it as a warning sign. These smells frequently indicate a system malfunction or the need for urgent septic cleaning.
If you have recently discovered water contamination in your water supply, this needs to be inspected because one of the main culprits behind bacteria, viruses, and nitrate in your water is a broken septic system. So, let the professionals inspect your septic system closely and see if it needs repairs or replacements.
The final clue that shows there’s an issue with your septic system is a water backup in the pipes. You can notice this by the strange sounds that come from drains and pipes when you try to use water. In the later stages, there can also be a direct water backup, which is a terribly unpleasant experience. Either way, you need to get this situation checked by a professional.
When you ignore these signs and fail to get your septic system checked in a timely manner, you’re just sending an invitation to expensive repairs and property damage.
