Septic systems require ongoing maintenance to properly redirect waste and keep your home free of septic-related disasters. The drain field is one of the key components of this system, so when it needs repair services, it’s important to act quickly. Here are three of the top signs you need drain field repair services.
- Unpleasant smells. No one wants to smell sewage in their home, but when you neglect drain field maintenance, this could become an unpleasant reality. When your drain field is damaged, unpleasant odors from your sink or around your drain field may develop. If you notice this smell around your property, even if it’s not super strong, you should call for drain field repair services.
- Pooling water. A leaky drain field can cause water to pool around it. If the area around your drain field looks like there’s been a rain storm even if it hasn’t rained recently, you’ll want to call in a repair team.
- Draining problems. It’s frustrating to deal with slow-moving drains in your sink, shower, and tubs. Gurgling noises also typically go with slow drainage. Pay attention to how your home’s drainage system is functioning. If you notice these two problems or anything else that is out of the ordinary, it’s a good idea to have the system checked out.
