Although your septic system seems like something foreign outside of your home, it’s really an extension of what goes on inside. So, when you have problems with your plumbing, it can have a direct affect on the septic system outside as waste is processed. The most difficult part is knowing whether your septic system requires attention, and the first indicator may actually come from something that happens inside your home. Here are four common problems that indicate you may need septic solutions provided by a professional:

1. Drains – If your drains are slow-moving, this could be an indicator of a larger problem. While a small problem may be resolved with simple plumbing expertise, consistently slow and clogged drains can affect your septic system. It’s important not to ignore these signs, so you can apply the necessary septic solutions.
2. Waste – Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry facilities – they all take on waste and transfer it to our septic system. If you notice a rancid smell, you already know this cannot indicate anything good. Take action right away to preserve your septic system.
3. Blockages – Blockages affect more than just the pipes that are part of your plumbing. They can also clog up your septic system and drain field, causing you to have backups into your home. Asking a professional for assistance with septic solutions will help you get to the bottom of the issue.
4. Leaks – Leaking pipes inside and outside can be cause for concern when it comes to your septic system. One thing to be aware of is that your septic tank itself can leak, and it is important to have a professional who can complete an inspection and provide the necessary septic solutions before the problem gets worse.
