These are some signs of septic tank problems:

  • Pipe Gurgling Sounds: Hear gurgling sounds every time you flush your toilet? This could be an indication that the tank is full and should be pumped.
  • Odors: If you notice an unpleasant sulfur smell, there is a high possibility that raw sewage has escaped your tank.
  • Water Backup: Sewage backups are one of the most common signs of a failing septic system.
  • Draining Problems: If your bathroom and kitchen sinks, shower, or bathtub drain slowly then your pipes or septic system may need maintenance.
  • Standing Water: Standing water in your yard is a telltale sign your septic system is in trouble.
