When working properly an Individual Sewer System (Septic System) can provide reliable service for many years. However, if problems begin to surface you should act quickly to remedy the situation before it becomes much worse. Here are 7 Warning Signs Your Septic System Needs Service or Repair:

  1. Foul Smells coming from the area around the septic tank, sewer pipe or drainfield that smells something like rotten eggs.
  1. Slow Drains with a Gurgling Sound as the water is going down the drain could indicate that the tank needs pumping.
  1. Pooling Water or Soggy Soil in your yard near the drain field points to a clogged or overwhelmed sewage system.
  1. Unusually Lush Grass above the drain field section of your lawn may mean that too much liquid is leaking out of the treatment area.
  1. Green Algae growth is an indication that you could have a broken sewage pipe or pipes are clogged.
