Your septic tank does an important job for your property: it ensures that all of the wastewater being washed down the various drains in your home is being treated, broken down, and released safely into the surrounding environment once it has been properly treated. But in order for it to do this vital function, you need to invest in regular septic tank cleaning
If you haven’t had a septic tank cleaning for a while, you may be wondering what the signs are of an overloaded septic tank system. Usually, this can manifest in a number of signs.
One of the most unexpected signs can be your lawn looking a little greener than usual. At first, you might be tempted to think of this as a good thing. But unseasonal greenness often means the septic tank is leaching water into the surrounding ground. And, since at least one part of your septic system is failing, it is very likely that this will be accompanied by foul smells in your yard.
Additionally, you will likely experience similar — and far more noticeable — issues inside of your home. Your drains may not drain as quickly, or they may back up entirely. You may hear gurgling sounds coming from the pipes in your walls, or foul odors coming out of your sinks, showers, and toilets.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please call us to schedule a septic tank cleaning as soon as possible. Once that is done, we can discuss a schedule that would work for you for more regular cleanings, so that you can avoid such problems in the future.
