A properly installed and well-maintained system can last decades, but septic systems don’t last forever. Here are a few signs that your septic system might be failing. Watch out for:
- Slow drainage
- Spongy spots on or near your leaching bed
- Lawn over leaching bed has abnormally healthy grass
- Sewage on the ground
- Odour inside or outside your home
- Poor well or surface water quality
- Liquid oozing out around the lids
If you are concerned that your septic system may be failing, contact Mike Clark Excavating & Septic Pumping to arrange an on-site inspection of your septic system.
