Sewage smell entering your home.

A sewage smell indoors signals a compromised septic system, posing health risks and requiring immediate attention. Prompt inspection and repairs are crucial to resolve leaks or blockages and restore system functionality.

Excess water backup in the toilet.

Excess water backup in the toilet is a clear sign of a potential septic system problem. This could indicate a blockage, a full septic tank, or a malfunction in the system. It's important to address this issue promptly to avoid further backups and potential damage to your septic system.

Water draining noticeably slow.

If water is draining noticeably slowly in your sinks, showers, or toilets, it may indicate a potential issue with your septic system. Slow drainage can be caused by clogs, blockages, or a full septic tank. It's essential to address this promptly to prevent backups and further damage.

Water pooling on your lawn.

Water pooling on your lawn, especially near the septic tank or drainfield, is a warning sign of a septic system issue. It could indicate a leak, clog, or saturation of the drainfield. Excess water makes its way to the surface of your lawn, and indicates a leaking septic tank or leaking tubing.

Why is my septic system malfunctioning?

If you haven't cleaned or performed any maintenance on your septic tank for a few years, you may be in need of some septic system repair or replacement. From sitting water, to slow draining sinks, there are many clear signs indicating your septic system needs some repair. If not dealt with promptly, damaged or leaking septic systems can cause sewage back ups into your home or business potentially causing health hazards, strong odors, and expensive repairs.

Common Reasons For Septic System Failure

Biomat grows thicker and thicker causing failure.

Over time, a biomat—a layer of organic material—forms at the bottom of the drainfield trenches in septic systems. As this biomat grows thicker, it can restrict the flow of wastewater into the surrounding soil, leading to system failure. Proper maintenance and regular inspections are essential to manage biomat growth and ensure the longevity of your septic system.

Septic tank needs to be pumped and cleaned.

Regular pumping and cleaning of your septic tank are crucial for maintaining its efficiency and preventing system failures. Over time, solids accumulate in the tank, reducing its capacity and leading to potential clogs and backups. Ensuring your septic tank is pumped and cleaned regularly helps maintain optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your entire septic system.

There are cracks or leaks inside of the tank.

Cracks or leaks inside your septic tank can lead to serious issues, including groundwater contamination and system failure. These structural problems allow wastewater to escape, preventing proper treatment and posing environmental hazards. Addressing cracks or leaks promptly with professional repairs is essential to maintain the integrity and functionality of your septic system.

Piping gets clogged causing a septic system failure.

Clogged piping can lead to septic system failure by obstructing the flow of wastewater from the home to the septic tank and drainfield. This blockage can cause backups, slow drains, and potential overflows. Regular maintenance, proper waste disposal, and timely professional cleaning are essential to prevent clogs and ensure the efficient operation of your septic system.

Drainfield is clogged.

A clogged drainfield occurs when the soil or gravel in the drainfield becomes saturated with solids or biofilm, preventing wastewater from being properly absorbed and treated. This can lead to backups, pooling water, and system failure. Regular maintenance, including septic tank pumping and monitoring, is essential to prevent drainfield clogs and maintain system efficiency.
