There are important signs to know about the health of your septic tank. Unfortunate incidents may occur to show you when the apparatus must be dealt with. Some of the signs are more obvious than others.

Pools of Water Around Your Tank and on Your Land

If the grass around your septic tank or elsewhere on your property has developed new pools of water, this is a sign of a septic tank problem. The ground may be overly wet, squishy, or simply be immersed in a pool of water that was not there before.

Mind the Ground

When you are at risk for septic tank problems it helps to keep a watchful eye on the ground on your property. If your grass has developed a patchy look, this could be a septic tank problem. This is true even if the obvious sign is that some grass looks overly healthy. It may be receiving extra water from a backed up septic system.

Clogged Drains

You may also experience problems inside the home. If your drains are clogged inside the house, a septic problem may be to blame.

Foul Odors or Obvious Backed up Sewage

Symptoms that may be much harder to ignore include odors or obvious sewage backup. Distinct signs of these issues should be attended to quickly.
