Drain lines from the home to the septic tank can become clogged by waste material, roots, or from partial or complete collapse. Having a trained septic technician run a snake through the line is the most effective method of identifying the problem.

In a properly working septic tank, there are three levels: on top is the scum – grease, oils, other materials lighter than water; a clear effluent in the middle; and solid waste on the bottom. Only the effluent should be exiting the tank.

In general, there are three issues that create problems with the leach field of your septic system: the septic tank needs has overfilled and needs to be pumped, a pipe is blocked causing a backup of effluent, or the drainage field is clogged.

Never work around a septic tank alone. In addition, make sure that all covers and hinges are not damaged and in proper working order. This will prevent their failing to keep people and pets from falling in.

You wouldn’t want your loved ones to suffer from illnesses caused by contamination due to a clogged or dirty septic tank. Professional cleaning should be done regularly for the system to properly function and for your family to remain healthy.

Unlike a septic tank, whose function is to separate waste from effluent before it is discharged into the leach field, a holding tank only stores sewage. As such, they need to be pumped out more frequently.

If you have a septic system, should you have a garbage disposal? Probably not. The finely ground products will float on the surface of the water and make their way into the lines and clog them. Consider composting food products.

Be careful when planting trees on your property. If they are placed too close to the septic drain field, there is a tremendous risk of root invasion into the lines in the field. If this happens, either the trees will need to come down or the drainage field moved.

If the septic tank is suspect, whether due to age or capacity, you should have it pumped out before and after periods of heavy use to both avoid a backup and to restore the system to more manageable levels.

If your septic tank is constantly filled to within a foot of the top, it may be time to consider replacement. Cleaning it out is only a temporary fix and, besides delaying the inevitable, more serious problems could arise.

If your area experiences serious flooding, you're going to want to check your septic tank for damage. Settling or floating in particular, can lead to pipe connections being severed, which will cause waste to leak out.

Inadvertently driving over or parking on any part of your septic tank and system will damage it. The tank can collapse, pipes be crushed, or the leach field damaged. Each of these will require professional service and repair.
