Your septic system may be different from sewer systems in many ways, but it still has pipes that connect your home to your septic tank and pipes in your drain field. These pipes can get clogged and result in a variety of issues that may threaten your system, your home, the public, and the environment. The good news is that hydrojetting may be able to unblock the pipes by breaking up clogs using highly pressurized water.
Here are some common signs your septic system may need hydrojetting to unblock pipes:
- Slow Drains – If your septic system is partially clogged, you may notice that water drains more slowly in your sinks, shower, or tub.
- Gurgling Drains – If the drains in your home are making gurgling sounds, it means there is an air pocket that is having a difficult time escaping. This usually indicates a blockage that can be remedied with hydrojetting, but it could also mean the septic tank is full. Call a septic professional to check out the issue and identify the cause.
- Sewage Backups – Sewage backups are clear signs that something is wrong in your septic system. A backup could mean your tank is critically full or there is a blockage in the pipes that needs to be removed with hydrojetting.
- Lush Grass or Wet Spots – Unusually lush grass or standing water in your yard, especially if accompanied by foul odors, are signs that effluent is leaking from your septic system. This may be because of a blockage that needs attention.
