In a public sewer system, it is the local government’s job to maintain those sewers. In a private septic system, on the other hand, the responsibility to maintain that system falls to the property owner. If you have a septic system on your property, you can turn to our team at Dewey’s Septic and Grading to get the help you need to keep it in good working order. In this article, we will focus on septic tank pumping, going over a few signs that it’s time to schedule this service.
- Odors – One sign it’s time to schedule septic tank pumping is strong odors coming from your drains. If your bathrooms suddenly smell like sewage, that’s a sign that your septic tank is close to full and needs to be emptied soon. Give our team a call to get your tank pumped as soon as possible.
- Slow Drains – Another indicator you should schedule septic tank pumping soon is slow drains. If your sinks, showers, or toilets seem to be taking longer to fully empty of water, then you should contact our team right away. This issue occurs when there is not enough room in your septic tank to admit all the water in your sink at once, meaning the tank needs to be emptied soon.
- Standing Water – A third sign you need septic tank pumping services is the presence of standing water around your property. This issue is caused by water leaking out of the septic tank and into the soil and grass around it. Our team will empty your tank so all waste from your plumbing can go where it’s supposed to go.
