When your septic system is failing, it’s important to take action before damage occurs. Here are five signs that may indicate your septic system is failing:
Pooling water.
common for a septic system to fail, especially if it was installed decades ago. When the tank is full, the water can't flow into the soil. The water will start to pool and build up in your yard. If there are any cracks or holes in your pipes, this can cause excess seepage into your yard as well. While it's not a major sign of failure, it is something that should be checked out by a professional if you notice this happening!
Foul odors.
Your septic system is designed to hold waste and release it into the environment at a controlled rate. A septic system that's working properly should never release any sewage, meaning foul smells are a sure sign of failure.
When you begin to smell sewage, call a licensed professional. Sewage can cause health problems that range from rashes and respiratory issues, to viral infections such as hepatitis A and E-coli.
Slow drains.

I called the number and had to leave a message. Within 10 minutes someone called me back. They came out within a few hours and fixed my drain. Clay, my technician, was professional, and knowledgeable with a great attitude (especially on a hot Friday afternoon)! Fixed my problem in no time. Their service is outstanding. And prices are reasonable for the area. I would definitely use them again!
Stephanie Mellott First of all, they were ON TIME. In fact, the first visit was early! A slab leak is scary, but within the week, I was scheduled for repair. It took a matter of hours. All of the plumbers were polite and worked quickly and cleanly. When the contractor came to assess the damage to the house, he was so impressed by the lack of damage to my home that he asked me for the name of ASAP twice! Highly recommend this company and their services.
