Septic Tank Failure Warning Signs

Gurgling Sounds – Gurgling noises might be heard from the toilet, especially when you flush. It can also be heard when you run the faucet. Usually, this signifies that the septic tank might be full and ready to leak.

Slow Drainage – When septic tank issues appear, all home drains start running slow. The line might be clogged so home waste water cannot escape fast enough.

Flushing Troubles – Because the toilet leads to the septic tank, whenever flushing is problematic, like when water does not go down the toilet drain, a sewage backup or a clog might be present.

Foul Odors – Septic tank leaks often back up through your plumbing system, right towards the home. This leads to the appearance of egg-like, rotten, foul odors. When you see this warning sign, serious sewage backup will soon appear.

Standing Water – When you see standing water in your home or yard, it can be a sign that there is septic tank failure present, usually a leak. Unfortunately, pooling water can easily lead to numerous other problems, like mold and bacteria growth.
