Hurricane season and floods are threats to your home in many different aspects. First, there’s the dreaded situation—water damage—but overall, heavy flooding can impact all systems of your home, especially if your home is dependent on a septic system. When the heavy rain and flooding overloads your septic tank, you will observe a set of problems that are hard to take care of, including possible health risks. If, as a homeowner, you are aware of how heavy rain and flooding affect your house, it will be easy to control the situation and protect your house and yourself.
As you might already know, after the septic tank separates the solids from the wastewater, the effluent part is eventually slowly released to the soil. The area where this event takes place is called the drainfield. When there’s excessive rain, naturally, the soil around the drainfield may be overloaded, and as a result, the wastewater that was supposed to be absorbed by the soil will not be able to be absorbed and distributed properly. As a result of this, proper filtration of the effluent by the soil will also not be possible, which can cause the untreated water to back up into your septic tank. Also, if water from other sources enters your tank, this can harm the bacteria that already exists in the tank, which can make it harder for your septic system to treat wastewater in the future.
We advise you to closely monitor both your home’s fixtures and the drain field if there’s heavy rain in your area. These signs may indicate that your drainfield is flooding.
The best way to be protected from a situation when it comes to plumbing and septic problems is regular maintenance. When you call professionals for regular septic cleaning and take care of the minor repairs early, you’ll avoid almost all sorts of septic issues your house may undergo later, especially in crisis situations such as heavy floods. Also, it is advised to plan and organize your landscaping in a proper way to prevent septic system flooding. For this, you can seek professional help to learn what you can do.
If by misfortune your septic system is affected by the flooding or if you are worried about this, the next thing you should do is to seek assistance from a professional septic company like Rooter Septic Services.
