Your septic tank is more than just an underground storage unit. It's a vital component of the septic system, responsible for managing wastewater in a safe and efficient manner. Sadly, the often-neglected reality is that even the most robust system can falter without proper maintenance.
Perhaps the most important maintenance item for the septic tank is a pump-out. This septic service involves removing the bulk of the sludge and waste in the septic tank. By making room in the septic tank, we prevent the risk of sewage backups, sewage leaks, and even a septic failure.
The septic tank should be pumped before the sludge and solid waste get near the inlet and outlet pipes, but most people don’t have the stomach to open the lid and check. A good rule of thumb is to have the tank pumped once every 3 to 5 years, but it’s best to have a septic specialist inspect your tank and give you a more definitive answer.
Septic systems are prone to wear and tear over time. Issues such as clogs, leaks, or component failure are not uncommon and can disrupt the system's functionality and effectiveness. A faulty septic system can cause environmental and health hazards, pose safety risks, and even expose you to legal liability.
If your septic system is exhibiting the following signs of trouble, then call Express Plumbing & Rooter to have a septic specialist investigate sooner rather than later:
The sooner we address the issue, the more likely we can viably repair it. Ignoring obvious signs of trouble can allow issues to snowball into BIG problems.
