When to Call for Emergency Septic Tank Service
If your home is not connected to the municipal sewer lines in your area, there is a high likelihood that your plumbing system contains a septic tank. While septic tank installation provides safe and sanitary wastewater disposal, your septic tank can cause major issues if it is not maintained correctly. A company that offers septic tank maintenance near San Francisco will be on call to help you in the event that an unexpected septic emergency arises in your home. Here is an overview of three signs that you need to schedule emergency septic services.
Your Drains and Toilets Are Backing Up
One sure indication that you are in need of emergency septic repair is when you start to notice that the drains and toilets around your property are beginning to back up into your home. When your drains are backing up with septic waste, they may start to emit a foul, sulfurous odor. To protect your family from exposure to the hazardous septic waste, you will need to have your backup repaired immediately.
Your Drain Field Is Flooding
In certain cases, emergency septic problems may not appear on the interior of the home. If you start to notice excessive amounts of water pooling in the drain field around your septic tank, this is a sign that there is something seriously wrong with your septic tank. If your septic tank becomes clogged or otherwise compromised, it can start to spill raw sewage into the surrounding drain field.
