If you have a septic system in the Decatur,
Weatherford, Fort Worth, Benbrook, Kennedale, Justin, Azle, Willow Park, Joshua
& New Fairview, TX areas, Cornish Burton Sigala Septic Service
can provide
you with reliable septic cleaning and pumping services as well as inspecting
your septic system and making sure it continues to operate optimally for your
continued use.
It’s important to watch for signs that you may need
septic tank repair. The best way to keep the system running smoothly is to
schedule a septic tank pumping and visual septic tank inspections at least once
every three years with our septic cleaning and pumping company. The more you use
your plumbing fixtures and appliances, the more you need to pump your septic
tank. However, if you notice any of the following problems, disregard the
recommended schedule and call for septic tank pumping and evaluation right
away.
- Sewage
Smell in Your House or Yard
When
your septic system is operating normally, all gases, liquids and solids remain
contained within the pipes and tank. You shouldn’t detect a sewage smell
anywhere on your property.
If you notice a bad odor in your yard, it could be coming from the drain field.
This is a sign that the drain field needs to be evaluated and may need to be
repaired. If the smell is coming from inside the house, this is an early sign
of a sewage backup. Call our professionals for septic tank repair without delay
to avoid this emergency!
- Backed
Up Toilet or Sink
If
you ignore sewer smells within your house and continue to use your plumbing
fixtures like normal, the odors could soon be accompanied by a backed-up toilet
or sink. This is a sure sign that your septic tank is damaged or overloaded and
needs to be repaired, pumped, or cleaned. A sewage backup is a real plumbing
emergency because if wastewater starts flowing into your house, it could cause
serious water damage and cost thousands of dollars to clean up.
- Slow-Draining
Sinks or Tubs
A
single clogged drain is nothing to panic about. There might simply be a
blockage in the pipe from hair or food waste, which a plumbing auger can
usually remedy. However, if you notice that all the sinks, bathtubs, and
showers in your home or business are draining slowly, your septic tank may be
starting to back up or a pipe may be damaged. This is when you’d want to either
call a plumber to service your slow drains promptly to avoid a worse plumbing
problem, or call Cornish Burton Sigala Septic Service to inspect your septic
system.
- Wet
Spots or Bright Green Grass on the Drain Field
If
you suspect a problem with your septic system, it would be a good idea to walk
around your yard often to check for wet spots. If you notice standing water
even though it hasn’t rained for a while, this is a sign that your drain field
is not functioning properly.
Another curious side effect of a malfunctioning septic tank is healthy, green
grass. A slight sewage leak might not be enough to form puddles, but it
delivers higher nutrient content to your lawn, allowing it to grow fast and
green. While this may seem like a benefit, ignoring it could allow the leak to
worsen and cause more damage to your yard and home.
If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, or your
septic system is giving you problems, call
on Cornish Burton Sigala Septic
Service for reliable service.
