Common Signs of Septic Tank Failure
- Slow Drains — Is your bathwater taking forever to drain? This could be a sign your septic system is struggling. Next time you shower or wash dishes, pay attention to the water flow. Slow drains might mean it’s time for a septic checkup.
- Bad Odors — Does your house or business suddenly have a funky odor? If unpleasant smells are wafting through the air, it could be a sign of a failing septic tank. Septic waste buildup can cause these odors, so don’t ignore them!
- Health of Grass Near Drain Field — Is the grass near your drain field looking extra lush and green? Hold on before you celebrate your newfound landscaping skills! This overly happy grass might be getting a boost from leaky septic wastewater. Lush patches near the drain field could indicate a problem.
- Water Puddles — Keep an eye out for mysterious puddles around your septic system or yard. A full septic tank can cause wastewater to back up and leak into other areas of your property. These unexpected puddles could be a sign of trouble.
