A failing septic tank usually warns you first. Here are five signs worth acting on before it becomes a big job.
A septic tank rarely fails overnight — it usually gives you warning signs first. Catch them early and you can often avoid a far bigger, costlier job. Here are five to watch for.
If sinks, baths and toilets across the property are all draining slowly, it points to the system rather than a single blocked pipe.
A persistent sewage or rotten-egg smell around the tank or drainage field is a classic sign that something is not flowing or breaking down as it should.
Soggy ground or a patch of unusually green, fast-growing grass over the drainage field often means liquid is surfacing instead of soaking away properly.
Gurgling from your drains or toilet when water runs away can mean the system is struggling to cope.
If your tank is filling up much quicker than it used to, something has changed — often a failing soakaway backing the system up.
