Emergency Septic Services in Salina
Under normal circumstances, maintaining a septic system means having it inspected and pumped out roughly every three years. Keeping up with that maintenance should allow your septic system to last between 20 and 40 years. However, in between those inspections, some things can go wrong. If ignored, these problems can grow and shorten the life span of your septic system.
Everything from someone flushing the wrong thing down a toilet to a developing clog can quickly become a septic emergency. Worse still, putting off repairs when something goes wrong with your septic system can turn catastrophic. At a minimum, it can lead to an unsanitary mess you’ll have to clean up. At worst, it can result in the need for a whole new septic system long before it should’ve been necessary.
There are multiple signs to look for that indicate the need for an emergency septic repair.
- Drains backing up
- Standing water on the drain field
- A septic system alarm
- Gurgling plumbing
- Strange odors
- Sunken lawn spots
The repair process begins with a thorough inspection of the entire system. Some physical signs on your lawn can indicate a collapsed pipe. Once we pinpoint the source of the problem, we can begin repairs immediately.
