How To Know Your Septic Tank Is Full

One of the main ways to keep drainage systems healthy is by emptying the septic tank. Normal levels indicate the septic tank has accumulated the waste it is intended to hold. However, sludge accumulation means that sludge occupies over 1/3 of the tank, while an overfilled tank means the septic tank has an excess of grease or solid waste, causing backup or overflow. Las Vegas Septic Service shares the warning signs that it’s time for septic tank cleaning.

Slow Drains

While clogs can cause this issue, having the problem throughout the house in all sinks, bathrooms, toilets, and appliances indicates a full septic tank. If homeowners don’t empty and clean the septic system soon, there will be backups in one or several outlets, exposing them to fungi, toxins, and bacteria.

Lush Lawns

While every homeowner dreams of having a healthy and lush lawn, it could be a sign of trouble if it happens suddenly and around the septic tank. It could be the wastewater from the tank supplying additional nutrients to the grass. If you notice unusually lush growth on your lawn, schedule septic tank pumping in Las Vegas, NV, right away.

Pooling Water

When homeowners notice pooling water around the septic tank, and it has not rained recently, it shows that the septic tank is at full capacity and the wastewater is overflowing. Regular septic tank maintenance can help prevent this issue.

Gurgling Sounds

Gurgling sounds might be familiar in many drains, but we advise clients to seek septic services if the sounds are consistent. Even if it is not a full septic tank, it could be a sign of a significant clog.

Unpleasant Odors

Odors around the property, especially around the septic tank, show that it is time to call septic tank professionals. If not taken care of, these odors will spread to the house through toilets, bathrooms, and sinks.
