Reasons Septic Systems Freeze-Up
Having your Septic System Freeze-Up can be a very costly and messy problem that no homeowner wants to face. The following are reasons why a Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (SSTS) may end up freezing during a Minnesota winter. In Part 2 of the series we will explore ways to help Prevent a Frozen Septic System in the Ham Lake, East Bethel and Andover, MN area.
- High Efficiency Furnace that produces condensation that slowly drips down the drain where it can freeze in the pipe that leaves the house
- Toilets that run constantly and are drippy
- Infrequent usage of water while the family is away on Vacation
- Leaky Faucet that causes water to trickle into the pipes
- Missing Inspection Caps on Septic Tank that allows cold air to enter the septic tank
- Newly Installed Septic System that does not have adequate grass or vegetation over the septic tank or drainfield
- Little Snow Cover during extended period of Very Cold weather
- Old Septic System that is no longer draining properly
- Low Spot in the Septic Pipe due to compacted soil from traffic on top of the piping system
