Your septic tank works hard to keep your home's plumbing running smoothly. But like any system, it needs servicing to function properly. Here are some signs that your septic tank might be full and in need of pumping:
- Slow Drains and Clogged Toilets: Frequent clogs or slow-draining drains can indicate a full septic tank struggling to process waste.
- Sewage Odors: A strong sewage smell around your drain field or property can be a sign of a backed-up septic tank.
- Sewage Backup: If raw sewage backs up into your drains or toilets, it's a clear sign your septic tank needs immediate attention.
- Standing Water: Standing water near your drain field can indicate a full tank or a problem with the drain field itself.
