Common Septic System Problems and Solutions

Septic systems handle wastewater for many homes, especially in rural areas. While reliable, they can still cause trouble if not cared for properly. If you think your septic system might be acting up, Pam's Plumbing is here to help. We serve Western Palm Beach County, Lee County, Glades County, and Hendry County, FL.

Here are some common septic issues and how we can fix them:

• Leaks: Just like any plumbing system, septic systems can leak. We use special tools to find these leaks, no matter where they are.

• Tank Damage: Septic tanks can get damaged over time. Sometimes, we can repair them, but other times, we need to replace the whole tank. We'll inspect your tank and recommend the best solution.

• Clogged Pipes: Things like grease or paper can clog your septic system's pipes. We have the right equipment to clear those clogs and get your system working again.
  

How can you tell if your septic system is in trouble?

One sign is unusually green grass in one spot. This could mean a leak. Another sign is a foul smell or water pooling near your tank or drain field.

Preventing Septic System Problems

Regular inspections, proper waste disposal, and water conservation can help prevent septic system issues. If you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or unusual water pooling, it's time to call a professional.
