More than 60 million Americans rely on septic systems to treat their household waste. Unlike urban sewer systems, these residential systems are designed on a house-by-house basis. The septic tank, which is buried outside, takes in wastewater from the toilets, showers, tubs, sinks and washing machines. After a small degree of treatment, the waste is dispersed into the drain field, where it seeps into the soil. This naturally removes harmful coliform bacteria and other contaminants from the water.

Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Immediate Service

Septic tanks need to be pumped regularly to prevent a buildup of solids. If the septic tank is full, this can cause wastewater to back up into the home or seep out into the soil. Keeping up with regular service and knowing the early warning signs of septic tank problems can help avoid these emergencies.

A spray foam insulation is usually a precast concrete box about 5 feet tall and 9 feet long. A family’s septic system is often designed based on the size of the home and the number of bathrooms and bedrooms. When a family uses all of the toilets, tubs and showers at once, the septic tank will overflow. This overflow can damage the drain fields and other components in the septic system.

The first sign of a full septic tank is standing water around the drain field. A septic professional can inspect the septic tank and drain field to determine why the water is pooling in this area. The septic tank must be pumped and inspected before the problem becomes worse. Having your septic tank pumped on a regular basis can extend its life by preventing overflow and clogging.
