TOP REASONS WHY SEPTIC SYSTEMS FAIL

Failing septic systems can expose your family, your community and the environment to disease-causing sewage


Many factors can cause a septic system to fail before the end of its lifetime:

POOR MAINTENANCE

The #1 reason for early septic system failure is improper maintenance... when a system is neglected and not regularly pumped or inspected, solids can accumulate in the tank and flow into the soil - potentially clogging it beyond repair

USING TOO MUCH WATER

Another common reason for failure is using more water than the soil can absorb - this can result in sewage backing into drains or even surfacing in your yard

CHEMICALS & TOXINS

Your septic system is a "biological ecosystem" that digests and treats waste - chemicals, cleansers, caustic drain openers, oil, pesticides, antifreeze, and paint should never be put down the drain


IMPROPER DESIGN

An improperly designed septic system is doomed from the start - failure usually occurs because the system is inadequately sized, installed in poor soils or not properly constructed




There are many steps that you can take to ensure a properly sited, correctly installed & regularly maintained septic system - done properly, your system should last 25+ years
