Toilet backups and foul odors are some septic troubles that can arise from a failing septic system. Many homeowners will not realize their septic system is nearing the end of its useful life until it's too late. They may suffer multiple problems with the tank, drain fields, or even get flooded with raw sewage. The best thing you can do is avoid this scenario and perform routine maintenance on your septic system. Septic Blue of Raleigh can perform regular septic tank pumping to keep your system running smoothly.
If you have an older septic tank, it may be time to replace it. The most common reason for replacing an old septic tank is the foul odor from the drain field. When a septic system is old, it can slow down and not be able to process all of the waste being sent through it, and this can cause sewage to back up and wreak havoc with foul smells in your yard.
When a septic system fails, harmful bacteria can spread into groundwater supplies and nearby bodies of water. If you notice foul odors near your home, it's time to check on your septic system.
A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment and disposal system. It consists of a septic tank, which holds the wastewater, and a drain field, which spreads the wastewater to a depth of approximately 6 feet over a large area. The drain field treats the liquid and solid waste collected in the tank.
As long as your septic tank is functioning correctly, you shouldn't see any signs of it. But if there are puddles in your yard or other signs that something isn't right with your system, you may need to consider repair or replacement.
You could need another septic tank installation if you have increased water needs like an active family or growing children. This will ensure your system can handle the extra demand without causing backups or other problems with your current system. Multi-generational homes are returning due to rising costs and our economic situation. A single-family dwelling changing to a four generational home under one roof will significantly strain the septic system installed for a family of four!
If you see the toilet or sink backup, or if there are any changes in water pressure throughout your home, call Septic Blue of Raleigh immediately. A clogged drain may be caused by a collapsed pipe or a broken pump in your system. You should also contact us if you notice any seepage from your pipes or any signs of leaking liquids around your home's foundation.
A septic tank relies on gravity to drain wastewater into the leach field. When the water flows slowly or not at all, there's an issue with the pipe between your home and the drain field. If you have a sump pump, this can cause backups in your toilet, sinks, and back up into your house. If you're experiencing reduced water flow from your toilets or drains, call Septic Blue of Raleigh immediately because this could indicate something wrong with your pipes or drain fields.
If you have not had your septic tank inspected lately, it is advisable to do so before proceeding with septic tank installation. Septic Blue of Raleigh is available for your septic tank pumping needs. Prevention is far better than septic system cleanup!
