In a perfect world, you would never have to think about your septic tank. It would sit underneath the ground, and it would do its job without fail. Unfortunately, though, you will experience some septic tank problems from time to time. When that happens, it’s important that you identify the problems immediately. That way, you can contact us at American Waste Septic so we can come out and pump your tank before it turns into a more serious issue.

• Slow Drains or Sewage Backup- If water isn’t draining properly or it’s backing up, you probably have a problem with your septic tank. In many cases, your septic tank just needs to be pumped. It likely has too much sewage inside it, so it can’t handle the additional load. Our team at American Waste Septic can pump your tank and get it back to proper working order in no time at all.
• Bad Smell or Pooling Water- Bad smells are a good indication of septic tank problems. If you notice foul odors inside or outside of your home, your tank might need to be pumped. It is likely because the septic tank can’t handle the additional waste. The bad smell is often accompanied by pooling water around the septic tank. If you walk out to where the tank is buried, there is a good chance you’ll notice pooling water.

If you see any of these signs of septic tank problems, contact us at American Waste Septic immediately. We will send a technician out to your property, assess the situation, and come up with a solution.
