Watch out for these red flags:
Persistent odours – A strong sewage smell around your yard or inside the house is often the first clue.
Wet or soggy patches – Spongy ground or unusually green grass near your septic tank or drain field may mean wastewater is escaping.
Slow or gurgling drains – Toilets, sinks, or showers draining sluggishly can indicate your system is backing up.
Wastewater surfacing – After rainfall, untreated sewage may appear above the drain field.
Nearby water pollution – Algae blooms, cloudy water, or contamination in wells are a sign the system is leaking into the environment.
If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to call a qualified drainage contractor right away.
