Our septic systems are the silent heroes of homes that don’t have a connection to the main city line. They work underground all day, and thanks to them, we can maintain the hygiene in our homes and in our communities. However, just like other systems, they’re not completely immune to problems and damage. Unfortunately when this is the case, it can grow into more serious issues, so signs of damage should be recognized and treated early. So we have prepared this guide for you to recognize certain patterns and take early action by contacting a professional.
Slow drains are early warnings. In the kitchen, the reason behind this can be starchy food, grease, or other food scraps, and in the bathrooms, it can be anything other than waste that is flushed down the toilet. These things can eventually clog your system and harm it.
One step beyond slow drains is water that is actually backing up inside your house. You may look for other reasons behind this, but water backing up from toilets and drains is frequently a sign of tank or pipe damage if your home relies on a septic system.
If you don’t receive professional septic cleaning services regularly, it can reach its maximum capacity, and you’ll observe that it becomes more difficult for your toilet to flush the waste down.
Who doesn’t love bright green grass in their yard, right? That’s not always the case, unfortunately. If the very green grass is only in certain parts of your yard, and especially near where the septic tank is located, that may mean that the ingredients inside your septic pipes are leaking, and thanks to their nutritious content, your grass and other plants are flourishing.
If you have a septic system, make sure to know its location and go out every once in a while to see if there are any odors coming from the area of the drain field, as this is one of the most important early warnings. Normally, a functional septic system should have no smell, but if you can smell waste, this is most likely a crack that lets the wastewater leak into your yard.
To summarize, as a resident, the most important action you can take to prevent serious issues with your septic system is being on the lookout for the performance and signs your septic system is trying to send you. Just by being more careful and routinely pumping septic, you’ll be saving yourself thousands of dollars in repairs and replacement. Also, please do not disregard the importance of routine maintenance. With routine maintenance, professionals will be able to catch the problems while they’re still minor and prevent them from growing.
