Septic Tank Pumping: Not the Only Septic Maintenance You Need in Loudoun County VA
Septic tank pumping is required, if you have a home or business with a septic system in Loudoun County VA.
However, septic tank pumping is not the only care and maintenance required, if you want to keep your septic system working right. Inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance should be performed by specialists, such as those at SES Mid Atlantic, LLC. (Do not attempt this maintenance yourself; sewer gases are deadly.)
Here are some signs that things are definitely not working right with your septic system:
- Foul odors, inside and outside of your home
- Slow draining of the toilets, which gets worse after a hard rain
- The septic tank alarm (if you have one) goes off; it will either flash a red light or make a beeping noise.
- Grass over the drainage field that is really green (this is harder to tell in the spring or summer).
