The Signs of Septic System Trouble

Your septic system is out of sight and likely out of mind until it starts acting up. Here are some red flags that signal it’s time to call in the pros:

Slow Drains: If your sinks and bathtubs are draining at a snail's pace, it could be more than just a simple clog.
Unpleasant Odors: Catch a whiff of something foul in your yard? That’s a telltale sign that your septic system is venting in places it shouldn't.
Gurgling Sounds: Unusual noises from your drains can be the cries for help from an overwhelmed septic system.
Pooling Water: Puddles on your lawn, especially near the drain field, spell trouble.
High Nitrate Levels: Well water users, take note. Elevated nitrate levels in water tests can indicate that waste water is leeching where it shouldn't.

Keeping Your Septic System in Top Shape

Like any well-oiled machine, your septic system requires regular care. Stick to a schedule to ensure that your system stays in top form:

Regular Pumping: Don't wait for problems to pop up. Depending on the size of your tank and household, pumping every 3-5 years is a good rule of thumb.
Mindful Flushing: Be conscious of what you flush to avoid overwhelming the system.
Landscaping with Care: Protect your drain field from invasive roots by choosing landscaping that's septic-safe.
Water Wisely: Conserve water to prevent your system from being inundated. Fix leaks promptly and consider efficient fixtures.

Why Professional Inspections Are Essential for Your Septic System

Think of a professional septic inspection as a comprehensive health check for your system. It's an essential service that:

Detects Issues Early: Pros can spot potential problems before they escalate.
Ensures Efficiency: Regular check-ups ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency.
Protects Your Investment: Your property value stays intact with a well-maintained system.
Keeps You Compliant: Inspections can ensure you’re meeting local health regulations.

A qualified septic specialist can assess all components, from the tank to the drain field, and provide you with a clear action plan if necessary.

Truckee, CA

Great work and Rory Harms was very professional. Thanks a ton! I recommend Rooter Man Plumbing to anyone in the area looking to hire a local plumber. We came across Rooter Man when searching a nearby plumber on Google. They were quick and affordable. We will use them again if we need a plumbing repair.

Excellent experience with Rooter Man. They took great care of my leaky pipes. Called them Sunday night about the issue. They gave me great advice to keep the issue as minimal as possible until they could make it out. Rory showed up Monday and took care of everything…

He's been very friendly and professional. However, it was expensive and He didn't get the line cleared. I had another company come out for less and fixed it.
