System Design and Septic Tank Services
If you are experiencing problems with your septic tank or system, there could be a number of issues. Please review the information below for some insight about septic systems and common problems.
Remember, if the wastewater cannot soak into the soil under the drain field bed, sewage may back up into the system, creating two distinct symptoms
- Wastewater puddling on the ground, or…
- Sewage is backing up into the house.
After flushing the toilet, if the water does not go down, or you hear a blup-blup-blup sound, this is telling you the tank or drainfield is not accepting water. A clue to what is happening is grass will get greener and taller than the rest of your yard when the wastewater can no longer drain through the pipe, rock, or sand. This is because the water will begin to push to the top of the drainfield and begin to puddle at the surface.
Septic System Problems in Lodi, Poynette, Arlington WI
Possible Causes –
- Poor Soil Conditions – A system placed in unsuitable soil for the flow generated from a house.
- Excessive Water Usage – A system designed too small for the house it serves or too small for the water generated from the house. If sludge or scum is allowed to escape out of the septic tank and enter the drainfield, the pipe, rock, or sand may become clogged. If this happens the liquid will not be absorbed into the sand. This common problem is caused by a failure to have the septic tank regularly pumped out. It is also important to note that, over the normal operating life of a system, this clogging will naturally occur and can eventually degrade a system. Again, regular pump outs are the best preventative services that can be performed.
- High Water Table and System Failures – During wet or abnormally wet seasons, groundwater may rise into a drainfield and force sewage to the surface. This is caused by an error in design or sometimes by a significant change in the surrounding landscape.
- Roots and Clogging of System Failures – The roots of trees and bushes planted too close to the septic tank can sometimes enter and block the pipes of the system.
- Physical Damage to System Components Causing Septic Failures – cars, trucks or heavy equipment passing over any portion of the system can damage pipes, septic tank or other portions of the system causing a malfunction. Protection of pipes are important. One effective way to to make sure they stay in top shape is to use bitumen tape.
