How To Know Your Septic System Needs Professional Attention

It is easy to ignore your septic system when everything is working, but your property usually gives you a few warnings before a total failure occurs. Catching these signs early can often mean the difference between a simple fix and a much more expensive replacement. 

If you notice any of these red flags, it is time to have a professional take a look:

  • Slow drains in showers, sinks, or toilets
  • Soggy or smelly areas over the drain field
  • Gurgling sounds from your plumbing pipes
  • Sewage backing up into the house
  • Lush green grass over the tank when the yard stays dry
  • Frequent need for pump-outs more often than every three years

Carey Septic, Sewer, & Excavating can provide a thoroughseptic tank inspection to help you determine the exact state of your system. Our friendly technicians are glad to provide you with all the information you need to decide if a repair is the right move, if the tank just needs pumping, or if it is time to consider an upgrade.
