A septic tank in good condition will help you safely dispose of the waste your residential or commercial property produces, but a septic tank in poor condition will have a difficult time doing its job. One of the most important services to hire to make sure your tank is in good condition is septic tank pumping. Septic tank pumping involves pumping out the sewage that has accumulated in your tank. Here are a few signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped.
- Your Lawn Is Too Green: Everyone loves to have a lush green lawn, but if there’s a patch on your lawn that looks suspiciously green, you might need a septic tank pumping service. This is because your lush lawn patch is likely due to sewage leaking out of your tank and nourishing the grass, so even though part of your lawn may look great, your plumbing system could be heading toward disaster.
- You Notice Standing Water on Your Lawn: Are there puddles in your yard that can’t be explained by rain? If so, this water could be the result of gray water overflowing into your lawn. Gray water puddles indicate that your septic tank is full and needs to be pumped as soon as possible.
- You’ve Noticed Sewage Backups: No one wants to deal with sewage backups. However, they can become a very real and persistent problem if your septic tank needs to be pumped. When your septic tank is full, there is nowhere for the sewage to go other than back up into your drainage system, so if sewage backups are a current problem, it’s time to hire a septic tank pumping service.
