4 Signs You Need Septic System Repair

Septic systems have advantages and disadvantages over city sewer systems. So, if you’re new to using a septic tank, there are several things to watch for that show you may have a problem and must call a septic system service for maintenance.

Slow Draining

The first warning sign that you may have a problem with your septic tank is if your drains start running more slowly. Most people associate slow drains with a clog, but sometimes it’s caused by a backed-up septic system or a problem in the overflow pipe. As the problem gets worse, it affects more drains throughout your house.

Foul Odors

An unusual odor now and then doesn’t mean you have a problem in your septic system; however, if you have persistent odors of sewage on your property or in your house, it should be cause for alarm. If sewer odor permeates your yard or home, call a professional plumbing service for an inspection as soon as possible.

Sewage Backup

Sewage backup in the home isn’t only unpleasant, it’s dangerous because it brings contaminated material into the house. If you notice sludge around the shower or bathtub drains or backed-up water in the sink, call a septic tank company immediately for the sake of your family’s health.

Water Pooling in the Drain Field

This situation almost always indicates an issue with your septic system. Routine drain field inspection is a good idea to catch problems early before they result in significant damage. To ensure your septic system runs efficiently and to avoid major repairs, call BenjaminBL Plumbing and ask about our septic system service today.

How to Maintain Your Septic Tank

When some people think about septic system maintenance, they envision a rotten-smelling, messy task. The truth is that maintaining a healthy septic system is mostly being mindful about what you put down your toilet and drains.

So, here are a few easy tips to keep your septic system in tip-top shape.

Spread Out Dishwasher & Washing Machine Usage

Many people have a dedicated laundry day, where they do all of their washing at once because it saves time. However, running several loads of laundry or dishes at once puts too much stress on your septic system and can cause the drain field to flood. Spreading these tasks out over a few days may be inconvenient, but it will save you the headache of a septic system that’s malfunctioning.

Don’t Use Your Toilet Like a Garbage Disposal

The only things you should flush down the toilet are what comes out of your body and toilet paper. Too many people use their toilets as a trash can, flushing items like personal wipes, dental floss, feminine hygiene products, cotton balls, hair, etc. None of these items break down in the septic system and some introduce chemicals that can kill the necessary bacteria that keep your septic system functioning.

Be Careful About Using Cleaning Chemicals

Your septic system relies on bacteria to break down waste. Certain drain cleaners and cleaning products contain chemicals that kill the good bacteria, which throws your septic system out of whack. There are many plant-based cleaning alternatives just as effective and safer for your septic system.

Call for Routine Septic Tank Pumping

Depending on your usage, expect to have your septic tank pumped every three to five years. BenjaminBL PLumbing provides comprehensive septic tank services. Call us today to book your appointment or if you have further questions. ea
