Now let's take a look at some of the signs that your septic tank is full.

Septic Tank Draining Slowly

The first and most important sign that your septic tank needs pumping is the fact that it starts draining slowly. So, your toilets, sinks, and tubs may be draining more slowly than usual. Of course, this can be a difficult sign to spot on a daily basis, since other factors may lead to it happening. However, if you do notice it, be sure to fix it ASAP as you do not want an overflowing septic tank.

You Can Smell Your Septic Tank Outside

If you are outside your home and you smell a sickly odor, then it may be a sign of a septic tank you need to pump. As the septic tank fills up, odor-causing gases have nowhere to go. So they end up wafting up from the drains and the drain field. Not only is this gross, but it is also very unhealthy and potentially to be breathing in sewage gas.

The Grass is Too Green

This may sound weird, but is your grass too green? A greener and more lush lawn above your drain field may be a sign that your septic tank is actually full and overflowing. That is due to the fact that waste and effluent that drains out into the drain field act as a fertilizer. So the overly lush grass can be a sign that the drain field is providing that extra bit of fertilizer for the yard.

Check the Nitrate Levels in Your Water

If your household relies on well water, then you should be periodically checking the nitrate levels. This is because that higher than normal nitrate levels in the water may be a sign that the septic tank is leaking and thus leaching into your well's drinking water. For those that use a well for water, it is highly recommended to get the water tested yearly. It is dangerous to be drinking and using contaminated water.

Standing Water in Your Home's Yard

If you have a full septic tank, then it is not uncommon to have standing water in various places in your yard. The most telling spot for a full septic tank is around your septic tank and drain field. So if you notice standing water in your home's yard, then you likely need your tank to be pumped and inspected immediately. The inspection is to ensure that this issue does not arise in the future and if you need a replacement or repair.

Sewage is Backing Up In Your Home

The easiest and most disgusting sign that you have a full septic tank is when raw sewage begins backing up into your house. This sounds outrageous, but is a very real problem for those who have a full septic tank. For the most part, it is the final sign since it is very obvious what the problem is. So to avoid raw sewage backing up into your home, then please watch out for the rest of the signs in this list. And be sure to call on Hamptons Septic Service for an inspection if you are getting suspicious about it. Raw sewage is harmful to the health of everyone in the home. And a clean up of it can cost a lot of money. Don't let it get to that point and watch out for all the signs!
