Signs Your Septic Tank Is Full

Signs Your Septic Tank Is Full Owning your own personal septic tank is an easy way to solve your drainage problems. By owning one, you have to be responsible and offer care to your tank. If you are hoping for your septic tank to be running perfectly fine, then you have to keep it well maintained.

Monitoring the levels in your septic tank is important to see when it needs to be cleaned and taken care of.

Some of the signs of a full tank that you need to be watching out for include:

Slow Flushing:- If you realize that your toilets, washing machine, showers and tubs are not draining at the normal rate, it could be an indication that your septic tank is full and starting to back up. Even though a clog in the system can make flushing slow, if the septic system

has not been cleaned and pumped for a while, you should consider getting the tank pumped before it becomes a problem.

Pooling Water:- Pooling around the grass over the septic tank area is an innocuous sign of a septic tank that may be full. If you notice standing water when it has not rained, this probably means the tank is at capacity, and some of the wastewater may be coming out of the tank and reaching the surface.

Bad Odours:- Since all the wastewater, toilet paper and solids go into your tank, over the years they decompose and release gasses. Once the tank starts to fill up with solids, you may notice strong odours in the area of the tank. You may also have odours emanating from the drain field if too much raw sewage is making it out to the weeping bed.

Gurgling Water:- Gurgling sounds are familiar in most drains, but if you notice constant gurgling, it might be a sign that the septic tank is backing up and needs to be pumped so that it can work more efficiently.

Sewer Backup:- This is one of the most unpleasant signs that indicate that your tank is full and needs to be pumped. A backed up is a sign that you will most likely experience if you do not have a regular maintenance/pumping schedule. If you have ignored many of the

previous signs, you could have raw sewage backup into your bathtubs and sinks.

Your Lawn is Too Healthy:- Like pooled water, the area around your septic tank can be an indicator of a leak or an overflow, especially if the grass is too green. If you notice that the lawn around the septic tanks seems to be greener than the rest of your lawn, it can be a sign of an overflowing septic tank that will need to be emptied.
