Septic Tank Pumping VS. Hidden Repair Issues?
Are you pumping out your tank every few years? More often than that?
Many clients who contact us automatically assume they need their tank pumped. As most eventually find out, just pumping it out doesn’t solve their system’s real issue.
Here’s a helpful list of signs that can be a result of homeowners thinking they need their tank cleaned out. If you’re experiencing any of these we have a solution.
Sign: Toilets and sinks draining slowly
Possible Issue: Septic tanks have internal pipes that are designed to only allow the liquid (effluent) portion of your waste to exit the tank. If this piping isn’t configured correctly, then it can cause solids to exit the tank and cause your lateral lines to clog.
Sign: Water standing in yard
Possible Issue: Lateral fields or as some refer to as leach fields are designed to evenly disperse the sewage into the ground. You may have a root infiltration or it’s possible that solids have permanently clogged your lines.
Sign: Strips of dark green grass
Possible Issue: Although you may not assume you need your tank pumped as a result of this sign, it’s generally easy to recognize before pumping becomes required. The reason for this is a broken pipe or your laterals are no longer accepting the effluent.
Trust in our experience to find the real issue.
