Causes of Common Septic Tank Issues

You need your septic tank to work properly at all times, but unfortunately, from time to time it can malfunction. When this happens, it’s essential to schedule professional services as soon as possible. Some common issues our technicians often encounter with these units are:

Sludge buildup.

Not emptying out a tank. This can cause it to back up.

As it gets older your tank can deteriorate.

Lines can become blocked in the drain field.

Wear and tear on drain fields.

Septic Tanks: How Often They Should Be Maintained

You need to perform regular maintenance on your septic tank to ensure it functions correctly. Our trustworthy technicians at Rocket Rooter Plumbing recommend having your system in your Central Florida home maintained at the following times to keep it working properly:

If the tank is one-third full.

At least once a year. Your unit may need to be serviced more often depending on how many people live in the household, how much water is used, and if you have a jacuzzi or hot tub. It can also vary depending on the ages of people living on your property – as teenagers and younger people may use more water than other age groups.

Ways To Prevent Septic Tank Issues

If your septic tank breaks down, it can create a large mess in your yard – and pose health issues for your family. Fortunately, there are ways you can prevent these problems from occurring. Some tips our experts recommend are:

Don’t pour grease down the sink or toilet. This can cause clogs in the drain field.

When planning your property, position landscaping, roof gutters and foundation drains so water flows away from the drain field.

Keep the drain field from becoming water-logged.

Clear the area around the tank of tree roots and concrete structures like driveways or patios.

Don’t flush solid materials like coffee grounds or banana peels down the toilet.

Schedule regular service appointments with a professional.

Avoid using household cleaning products like bleach and drain cleaners.
