A leaking septic system is a major issue. It can cause both property damage as well as health related concerns. That’s why it’s important to recognize the signs that your system is leaking so you can reach out for septic repair services in a timely manner.
One of the biggest indicators that your system is leaking is visible signs around the tank in your yard. Pay attention to any random puddles or significant areas of pooling water, especially if there hasn’t been any rain recently or you can’t think of any other reason why there would be pooling water. When septic tanks are leaking, you’ll often see the waste water in the area around the tank simply because there’s nowhere else for it to go. Septic repair service providers will be able to identify the source of the septic leak and make the necessary repairs to stop it.
Another sign of a leaky system is water contamination. When a septic tank leaks, the potential for water contamination increases. This is a serious health hazard that you can identify by looking at the water coming out of your faucets. Has the water recently started smelling foul? If so, you’ll need to act quickly to reduce the chance of getting sick from contaminated water.
