Septic Tanks Matter!

Out of sight is out of mind and septic tanks certainly fit the cliché. I mean who really wants to see or talk about them but it is in our best interest if we would now and then think about our septic tank.

A poorly maintained or not maintained septic tank will not only affect our health but also (if you look at the larger picture) the environment. Faulty septic tanks will redirect sewage and gas back up the pipes of your house and flush out dangerous chemicals in and out of your home.

A little commonsense, presence of mind and periodic maintenance will ensure that there are no dangerous leaks resulting in costly repairs. Foremost it would be wise to get the septic tank checked annually by a licensed company with trained personnel. My drains were working very slow and clogging up and instead of trying to get a licensed septic company to check the problem, I tried to do it myself. At the same time my toilet was not flushing either. This should have raised a red flag but I didn’t know better. The delay in getting the problem checked out cost me good!

So at the outset when these problems start cropping up, call a licensed professional. Also other indications that things are going south with the septic tank is when your yard smells like sulfuric acid with wet patches in places. A septic tank repair and maintenance technician at Dave Lange Sewer Service, Inc., informed me that one way to avoid costly septic problems is to make sure that trees with far reaching roots and/or swimming pools don’t are not situated near the septic tank. Good to know huh?
