Many homeowners are simply unable to perform routine maintenance on their sewer systems. In this case, it’s good to know a few telling warning signs of a full septic tank in mind so you know when to schedule septic pumping service.
These signs might mean your septic tank is full:
- Strong odor of sewage in the yard
- A backed-up toilet
- A drain that can’t be unclogged
- Standing water in the yard
Some newer septic systems even have built-in alarms that flash and make noise when the tank is nearly full. If this happens, don’t waste any time in calling a reputable plumber in your area.
Why Do I Need Septic Tank Pumping Services?
Because septic tanks handle human waste, it is important that they run safely and hygienically. A well-maintained septic tank shouldn’t smell or pose any sort of danger to your household. A full or inadequately maintained septic tank will likely smell and potentially release dangerous bacteria, phosphorus, and nitrogen into your groundwater. This can affect your family, pets, and even your garden!
Top 3 Reasons to Pump Now
- Avoid costly repairs in the future with proper maintenance
- Keep your family and the environment safe by preventing harmful pathogens and bacteria from entering the water table.
- It’s as simple as a phone call or email and you may not remember to do it later.
