Septic system problems often result in messy clean up situations, horrible smell in your yard, septic system odor in your home and of course the potential of having to replace the entire septic tank system. It is virtually inevitable that these types of problems will occur when you are least expecting it: before guests arrive, large gathering or party at your home or maybe you return home from a much warranted, long vacation to find your home plagued by a failing septic system.
Commonly realized septic tank problems include:
- Sludge and Solids build up from not pumping septic tank on a regular schedule
- Broken or busted drain lines or broken septic tank baffles
- Tree roots getting into cracks in the tank or around septic tank cover
- Septic Filter clogging from not having it properly cleaned on a regular basis
Commonly realized drainfield or leach field problems include:
- Sludge and other solids leaving the septic tank without proper treatment
- Grease capping from too much grease entering the septic system
- Broken drainfield piping or compacted soil
- Clogged drainfields from tree roots
- Improper location of the leach field or drainfield
While several of these problems listed above are phsyical damages and would require physical repairs such as broken baffles, drainlines, clogged drain roots and improper location of the leachfield. Fortunately for most septic system owners, these problems are in the minority.
The most common of all Septic Tank problems is the build up and accumulation of sludge and solids not allowing the septic tank to properly drain into the leach field.
Septic Tank maintenance is crucial for the function, efficiency and longevity of any septic system. Proper preventative maintenance such as monitoring the chemicals that are being put into the system, keeping adequate levels of biological microbes necessary to break down the solids and have your septic tanks cleaned and pumped out on a regular basis by a septic system professional. However, many of us lead very busy lives and pumping out the septic tank is not a typical priority on everyone's daily list of priorities. Which is why it is generally an emergency situation, with a pending event, party or guests heading to your home when you may find that you have a septic system problem. Septic Tank Inserts can alleviate these build up and accumulation issues in as little as 2 weeks!
