Common Septic Emergencies
Sewage backups are one of the most serious types of septic emergencies. In these situations, a severe blockage or other major issue prevents wastewater from flowing properly. This causes wastewater to move back into and potentially beyond your toilet, shower, or sink instead of toward your septic tank. Slow draining can be a warning sign that a blockage that may eventually result in a backup is forming. You should avoid attempting to flush your toilet more than absolutely necessary until after any drainage problems that are sudden, severe, or significantly worse than they started are evaluated. Other common septic emergencies you may experience include:
- Gurgling or other unusual sounds in your plumbing system may indicate that a blockage is forming and trapping air or gas in your pipes
- Foul or other unusual odors, which likely indicate a leak or overflow somewhere in your septic system
- Frozen or broken pipes
- Using more water than your septic system is designed to handle
- Unexplained puddles in your yard, especially those that are near your septic tank
- An overloaded septic tank
- Clogged drain lines
- Any flushed item that was not designed to be flushed
- An activated septic alarm
