Common septic problems we help diagnose
- Backups into sinks, tubs, or toilets
- Slow drains throughout the home
- Odors near the tank or drain field
- Wet or unusually green patches in the yard
Repair vs. replacement
Many issues can be repaired without replacing the entire system. A full drain field failure or severe structural damage may point toward a replacement instead.
What to do before help arrives
Stop using water in the house, keep people and pets away from standing wastewater, and avoid opening the tank yourself. Note when the problem began and any recent changes in water usage.
