Is it time to have your septic system cleaned?
Is it time to have your septic system cleaned?Most people aren’t sure when they last had a thorough septic system cleaning. If they’re relatively new to their home, they probably don’t know the last time the previous owner scheduled a cleaning and pumping job.
If you can’t remember or don’t know how long it’s been since your septic system was professionally cleaned, now is the time to schedule this service.
Signs that you need septic system cleaning
Here are four of the most common signs that it’s time for septic system cleaning. If you notice any of these signs, it’s critical that you arrange for a thorough septic system cleaning before serious and potentially dangerous problems occur.
1. Sewage backing up into your sinks and toilets
This is a clear sign that your septic tank can no longer hold the waste you’re sending to it. Not only are backups unpleasant and messy, but they can also be hazardous to your health.
2. Slow drains
If all the drains in your home that feed your septic system are slow, the problem likely is with the septic tank. If only one or two drains are sluggish, the problem may lie in the plumbing for the affected drain(s). An inspection and a complete septic system cleaning should be performed if all the drains are problematic.
3. Foul smells in the house
If you’re getting odors of sewage inside your home, you need to take action. The smell comes from bacteria that grows naturally in the septic tank. If you’re smelling strong or even minor odors, the pipes need to be cleaned to remove the bacteria.
4. Smells outside the house
An over-full septic tank also can emit odors outside your house in the vicinity of the tank. If you notice these odors, schedule a septic system cleaning as soon as possible.
