An all too common problem for people living in rural areas is septic tank problems. Septic tank problems are as varied as their associated costs. Keeping in mind the warning signs of a malfunctioning septic tank system can allow for less costly solutions before you need to call a professional septic contractor in to fix a failed septic tank system.
Slow Drains
Slow drains indicate that the sewer or waste water pipes leaving your home are clogged; sometimes within the septic system. Obstructions like tree roots happen occasionally and they are typically solved by using copper sulfate products to dissolve them. Care must be taken to not overly administer these chemicals, because they can have a negative effect on naturally occurring bacteria.
Beneficial microbes consume solid waste and paper in a properly functioning septic tank. Too many harsh chemicals, including some drain cleaners, diminish the healthy population of these beneficial microbes. This turns the digestion into an anaerobic situation where a septic tank begins to fail. Restoring a healthy population can take time, in which septic tank failure can occur.
