Common Signs Your Septic Is Under Performing
Here are some common signs that your septic system may need maintenance or repair. Act fast, so that a small issue does not become a much bigger one.
Foul smelling odors: The tell-tell sign of a septic system problem is odor. A foul smell from your pipes, your appliances or outside near your septic system is generally an indicator of a problem brewing. Reach out to a professional quickly for an assessment and repair.
Slow drains: If you notice that your sink or tub drains are draining more slowly than usual, it’s possible you are developing a septic system back-up. This is an early sign that you may need professional assistance.
Issues with your toilets: Similar to your drains, if you notice that your toilet is not flushing correctly or flushing slowly, take notice as this can also be a signal of a problem.
Gurgling noises: Gurgling sounds that you can hear inside your home from the pipes is another sign of a potential problem.
Moisture around your drain field: You may not think about looking, but if you notice moisture around your drain field and/weeds growing around your tank, this may mean that wastewater from your sewage system is rising to the surface rather than staying below ground.
Sewage backups: This is probably the most obvious warning, but sewage backups in your home is a sign that should be handled immediately.
