Problems that a full septic tank can cause!

Slow or Frequently Clogged Drains

Your septic tank system is connected to the entire network of drains throughout your home, including your sinks, showers, and even toilets that can exhibit signs of a problem.

Typically, a fully or partially blocked septic system will cause your drains to slow and allow water to pool where it was dispensed. This can be extremely frustrating for home owners and can prevent their ability to go about their daily routine. Our septic tank pump-out services can clear these blockages so your drains can run efficiently again.

Sewage Backup

One of the most dangerous and damaging symptoms of a full septic tank are sewage backups. If a full septic tank is left ignored, the smell could even begin to affect your health, and the black, sludge-like material could overflow and cause serious property damage. Once you notice that you’re getting some sewage backup in the lower parts of your home, make get the system serviced before the problem spreads to other areas.

Regular Gurgling Noises

Do your sinks and toilets make loud gurgling sound? If so, it could be a sign that your septic tank is full and struggling to accept more waste water. It may also mean that you have clogs or potential sewage backing up into your drains. Since there are several possible scenarios for gurgling drains, it’s recommended that you contact your local septic pumping professional to properly diagnose the issue.

Strong and Pungent Odors

You can still experience the smell of a full or blocked septic tank even if you haven’t seen the initial signs of sewage backup. You can't miss the overpowering, sickening odor that comes with a full or blocked septic tank. If you can track the smell back to any of your drains, then the next step is to immediately take action to clear it up, otherwise, you risk negative health effects along with the unpleasant stench.
