Do you have a septic tank on your property that you think is acting up? Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if you are really having septic tank problems. At American Waste Septic, we know that it is important for you to have a septic tank that is in good working condition at all times. Here are the top warning signs that may indicate you have septic tank problems:
• Slow drains — If the drains in your home are slow to drain, then you may have a septic tank problem. If you notice that water is draining from your bathtub and sinks much slower than before, it is a good idea to have your septic tank checked out.
• Water is backing up — If you have any areas in your home where water is backing up, this could indicate a problem. Water can back up in your sinks and laundry room, but a for sure sign you have septic tank problems is if you have sewage back up in your bathrooms. Sewage backup is one of the worst septic tank problems and it is a sure indicator that your septic tank is not working like it should.
• Toilets will not flush –If your toilet is slow to flush or will not flush at all, this could mean you have septic tank problems. Or, it could simply mean your tank is full.
• Gurgling pipes — If your pipes make a gurgling sound when you run water or flush the toilet, it could mean your septic tank is full.
