What are the signs of trouble?
- Foul odors in your home or yard tell you that your system is not working well.
- Slow or backed up drains may be caused by a clog in the house pipes, septic tank,
soil absorption field, or roof vent for your sewer line.
- Wet, spongy ground or lush plant growth may appear near a leaky septic tank or
failing soil absorption field.
- Repeated intestinal illnesses in your family may occur if your water is contaminated
by poorly treated wastewater. Have your drinking water tested annually for coliform
bacteria and nitrates.
- Algal blooms and excessive weed growth in nearby ponds or lakes can be caused by
poorly treated wastewater leaching from septic systems.
