Reliable septic services are key to proper waste management in your home. When you neglect the need for this type of service, your home could encounter major problems, including septic backups. Septic pumping is an important part of maintaining your overall septic system and contributes to a healthier system. Below are three common signs that you’re due for a septic pump-out.
- Gurgling sounds. Gurgling pipes and drains mean there’s a lot of waste sitting in your septic system. Most of the time, you don’t hear a lot of noise coming from your pipes or drains, so when you do hear something, you should make sure to reach out to a professional who can address the issue to prevent backups.
- Sewage smell. When septic systems get backed up or clogged with waste, the sewage smell won’t be contained in your tank. A sewage odor coming from the drains in your home or outside around your tank indicates that it’s time for septic pumping. These odors are only going to get worse if you try to ignore them.
- Persistent clogs. Toilet and drain clogs happen to everyone, and most of the time, there’s a simple fix to this problem. However, if your toilets and drains seem to constantly get clogged, especially if multiple fixtures around the home are encountering this issue, you may find yourself dealing with a full blown septic disaster soon if you don’t hire a septic pumping service.
