Standing Water
Standing water near the drain field is another problem that can arise over time, despite routine visits by a septic cleaning team. One gurgling or slow drain may not raise concerns initially, but soggy spots or puddles can indicate a more severe underlying problem. This is particularly true if they don’t dry up quickly, meaning your septic system isn’t functioning as expected. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a trusted septic company for emergency services.
Greener Grass
A greener or lush backyard is every homeowner’s dream, but not at the expense of your septic system. Greener patches of grass around the septic tank or the drain field often indicate a leak or overflowing system. If left unchecked, you risk contaminating the environment, health hazards, and costly code violation fines. You can avoid these issues by practicing responsible disposal and water usage habits, as well as investigating issues early rather than later.
Bad Odors
Professional septic pumping and cleaning not only remove solid waste buildup, but also include hydro jetting to scour the interior wall. Thorough septic cleaning helps eliminate foul smells, but they can still return between visits. If you detect a rotten egg-like smell from your drains or near the drain field, there’s a problem that needs professional help. Home remedies often provide temporary relief, hence the need to have a trusted septic service on hand.
