Septic systems are fairly easy to maintain. Similar to a centralized sewer system, they do require mindfulness. For example, you do not want to flush hard objects and non-degradable items down your toilet. Further, you want to avoid pouring grease or cleaning products down your drains. As your septic tank houses vital bacteria and microorganisms that help break down solid waste, cleaning products pose a threat to their wellbeing and, by extension, your septic system’s operability.

Though unpleasant, signs that your septic system needs a repair are easy to detect. First and foremost, you will begin to get a whiff of sewage. This foul smell can come through your drains or from your yard, depending on the location of the damage. Further on, your drains will begin to slow, and you may even experience sewer backup. That’s right – if your septic system needs a septic repair in Fort Pierce, FL, then a strong indication is the backing up of sewer water back into your house. The strongest signs that you need a septic repair is the pooling of water around your septic system. This pool of water will reek of sewage and the grass around it will be unnaturally long and green.
