Septic tank problems

When we add something new to our house, we don’t expect it to fail or have problems anytime soon. Even when we have a few old things, we don’t expect them to fail us unexpectedly. However, it is unavoidable and it has to happen at least once unless we keep them well-maintained and working perfectly.

When it comes to septic tanks, it is the same. They can cause problems or have them, just like everything in the world. Therefore, you need to keep an eye on and look for signs to prevent the septic tank affects your property or its own condition.

A septic tank can be full, maybe it is cracked or something is wrong with the rest of the septic system. There are so many possibilities that it’s hard to determine what is going on.

Therefore, here’s a list of some signs and problems that are telling you the septic tank is failing or has a problem:

1. Showers, sinks, bathtubs, and any other drainpipe or system is very slow.
2. There’s spongy lush grass over the tank even during dry weather, although it shouldn’t be there any time of the year. Most of the time this represents it is full or there’s a crack.
3. Emits foul odors. This isn’t normal as most people may think.
4. You can hear gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
5. The grass or the area where the drain field is located is overflowed with wastewater or pretreated water.
6. The wastewater returns to your house.
