Septic tank cleaning may not be at the top of your maintenance list. However, if you neglect to have your septic tank cleaned out on a reasonable schedule, you’ll be looking at malfunctions with your plumbing and likely some level of damage to your septic system.
To help you recognize when you need your septic tank cleaned, Quality Septic Inc. of Plant City, FL, would like to share four of the most common signs to watch for.
Clogging
It’s not uncommon for your toilet to clog when something foreign or large is flushed. If you’re experiencing clogs with the most innocent of flushes, you should look into a septic tank cleaning. Slow or clogged toilets often can be resolved by having them pumped and cleaned out.
Overflow
If you begin to notice water overflowing in and around your septic tank outside, you should be concerned. This issue requires a professional inspection to evaluate the situation and determine if you need your septic tank pumped or if there is another underlying issue.
Odor
Unfortunately, one of the common signs that you need septic tank cleaning is a foul odor. If something isn’t right in your septic system, an unpleasant odor can move through your pipes and filter throughout your home. A thorough cleaning of your septic tank can prevent the odors from happening.
Alert notifications
Some septic tanks are equipped with an alert system to notify homeowners when their tank is getting full and needs to be pumped and cleaned. Be aware of these notifications and follow up on them.
These and other signs that you need septic tank cleaning are important. They mean that a problem exists and will only worsen if left unattended. Ideally, you never want to experience any of these signs. Fortunately, there’s a way to accomplish this.
