Standing water over your septic tank and throughout your yard? Here’s why you should be cautious.
1. TANK FLOATATION
High groundwater can cause your tank to shift or even float out of the ground.
2. STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Groundwater pressure can crack, shift, or damage your septic tank.
3. SATURATED DRAINFIELD
Your drainfield may not be accepting water. If it isn’t, wastewater may back up or the tank may quickly refill.
⚠️ Sometimes, waiting for groundwater levels to drop is the safest option.
Every septic system is different. Pumping decisions should be based on groundwater conditions, tank construction, and system evaluation.
