SERVICING GREATER JACKSONVILLE, NC.10 Warning Signs Your Septic Tank is Failing
If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to call a professional plumber to inspect your septic system. Catching problems early can save you a lot of hassle and expense down the road.
Slow Drains
One of the first signs is that your sinks, showers, and toilets are draining slowly. If you’ve tried unclogging them and it’s still slow, the problem might be with your septic system.
Bad Odors
If you start smelling something foul, especially around your septic tank or drain field. The smell is usually a strong, unpleasant odor of sewage, which means the tank might be full or leaking.
Standing Water
Notice any puddles or standing water in your yard, particularly around the septic tank or drain field? This can indicate that your tank is overflowing or the drain field is failing.
Lush, Green Grass
While a green lawn is usually a good thing, unusually lush and bright green grass over your drain field can be a sign that your septic system is leaking and providing extra "fertilizer."
Gurgling Sounds
If you hear gurgling sounds coming from your plumbing, especially when you’re using water, it might be a sign of trouble. This can indicate that the waste isn’t flowing properly through the septic system.
Backups and Overflows
One of the most obvious and unpleasant signs is sewage backing up into your toilets, sinks, or bathtubs. This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention.
High Nitrate or Coliform Levels in Well Water
If your home uses well water, high levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria can indicate a septic system failure. Regularly testing your well water can help catch this early.
Increased Plant Growth Near the Septic Area
Excessive plant growth, especially in the drain field, can mean that your septic system is leaking nutrients into the soil, causing plants to grow more quickly than usual.
Frequent Pumping Needed
If you find yourself needing to pump out your septic tank more frequently than usual, it might be a sign that the system is not working properly and is filling up too quickly.
Algal Blooms in Nearby Water Bodies
If you notice algal blooms in ponds or streams near your property, it could be due to runoff from a failing septic system leaking nutrients into the water.
