An odd sewage smell spreading around your house is never a good way to start or finish your day. It’s extremely unpleasant in addition to being risky to your overall health, as sewer odors are known to carry various microorganisms. It’s also never normal for sewer odors to find a way inside your house, so it obviously indicates that something needs to be fixed in your septic system. In fact, odors are one of the early ways to know when your septic tank needs attention, and calling a professional septic company in Atlanta would be the next right decision. So, let’s go over why you might be faced with this sign and some of the things you can do to fix it.
As you may already know, septic tanks work through small microorganisms that break down the waste. Sometimes, due to sending harsh chemicals down the drain, these bacteria die and the microbiome inside the tank is disrupted. So, when the waste can’t be broken down efficiently, naturally odors will form and will be noticed around the house.
To safely discharge gases of the septic tank into the atmosphere, your septic system uses vents. These vents can be commonly found on roofs, and in the event of snow, leaves, or birds that make a nest, these vents will be obstructed, and gases won’t be able to be discharged properly. As a result, you will face bad odors in your yards or drains.
Most of the time, the reason behind those bad odors is more simple than you think—the septic tank that hasn’t been cleaned for a while gets too full. When waste buildup gets to a point where the tank cannot handle it, it overwhelms the entire system; as a result, the tank will experience flow problems that can harm the drain field and sometimes backups. First, you’ll notice the increasing odors. Afterwards, the waste can appear in your drains. The solution to this specific issue is quite simple: you need to call professionals for septic tank pumping. If you have an unexplained sewer odor in your house and your system hasn’t been cleaned for a few years, this is the most likely reason.
Now let’s go over some of the ways you can solve the odor issue.
Once again, we want to stress the importance of regular tank cleaning. Regular maintenance is the only way that you can have a healthy, odor-free septic system that doesn’t create a new problem every single day. Practice preventive measures and regularly call a professional for your septic systems’ needs, and you’ll be good to go. At Rooter Septic Services, we take the health and effectiveness of your septic system very seriously. Contact our professionals today for any kind of septic service you may need and schedule your appointment.
