What’s up with my Septic Tank?

This is a clear indiciation of an issue with a septic tank.

During the summer months and the excessive amount of rain we usually tend to get with the summer heat and storms can take a toll on your septic system.  Now is the time to check your septic system –

Common signs that your septic tank is full:

• Standing water over your septic system
• Smelling sewage when you in your yard
• Drains in your household are not draining properly
• Your pipes are making unusual sounds (gurgle) when you flush the toilet
• You find sewage backup in your tubs and sinks

Septic systems should be pumped every 3-5 years. If you have had your septic pumped and begin to have issues you may have a clogged or broken drainage pipe.  Having this inspected early can help you in the long run.
