  1. REASONS WHY A SEPTIC TANK FAILS- SEPTIC BLUE If your sewage system isn’t connected with the city sewers, you probably have a septic tank system. It is your responsibility to attend to your septic system properly. If not taken care of, it can cause serious damage and be hazardous to you and your environment. Here are some problems you can avoid to keep your septic tank safe and secure.

  2. Lack of Maintenance Neglect of septic pumping when recommended can cause the sludge at the bottom of the tank to build up and take too much space inside the tank, causing the scum to mix with the wastewater. Consequently, the tank will start to overflow with scum and wastewater mixed with sludge on the ground. This can contaminate the environment and air around you and cause the system to fail. You will naturally need a septic tank repair and inspection of the contaminated ground, which can further cost you more money as well. Overall, it is not a fun experience. You can call Septic Blue to deal with your septic tank repair.

  3. Water Use Sometimes your septic tank is not enough to meet your water usage. This means that your septic tank is simply too small to meet your needs, so you may want to replace it with a larger one suitable for your household. Usually what happens is the septic tank will receive your wastewater and slowly deliver it into the soil at a steady rate. If the tank refills before it can empty the previous contents, the wastewater may overflow, or return to you.

  4. Physical Damage The most apparent reason for a septic tank failure is getting your septic tank damaged. There are four parts to the system – pipe, septic tank, drain field, and soil. If even one does not work properly, the system will fail. Examples of physical damage can be stepping or driving over the septic system area, which you should never do, or building on or close to the system. The area around your system should stay clear at all times. Make sure there are no trees around either because tree trunks can fracture a part of the system from underground.

  5. Incorrect Installation Sometimes, it’s not your fault. The system was just installed incorrectly in the first place. Every component of your septic system is an important factor for determining where and how to install your septic tank. The most important factor is the soil you will be planting your tank in. If the soil is not appropriate to absorb the wastewater successfully, the system will have trouble functioning properly. If you have concerns about your septic system being installed incorrectly or want a septic pumping, feel free to call Septic Blue.
