Septic System Service Northfield
Has Your Septic System Backed Up?

If everything goes down the drain, no one worries about their drain and sewer line (or septic line). Regular drain maintenance would keep all your drains flowing smoothly, but many homeowners have never contacted a home services company for annual plumbing maintenance. It’s a good idea and would help you avoid any of the drain or sewage problems we’re about to go over. Fortunately, there are some warning signs before you’ve got a blocked sewer line, drain line or septic line on your hands—when that happens your whole house will come to a standstill.

Do you have a sewer connection or septic tank system?

Before we go over the signs that you may need a Rowell’s Service Expert to come for service, it’s good to know if you’re connected to the city sewer system or if you have your own septic tank system. If you live in town, you’re likely connected to the sewer system, but you could verify by checking your water bill. If there’s a sewer charge on your bill, you’re connected. If not, you probably have a septic tank in your yard (and probably a manhole cover).

Drain issues that should prompt you to call Rowell’s Services

1. Sewage smells

It’s not normal for bad odors to come up through your shower or sink drains. If you’re smelling foul gases after running water, you should contact us to come and have a look. If you’re smelling sewage outside your house (near the septic tank or drain field), your septic tank system could have damaged or blocked vent, dry drains, a flooded or full tank.

2. Slow drains and clogged drains

Water moving slowly down the drain could be a clogged drainpipe under your sink. Is it slow in one sink or all throughout the house?

3. Gurgling drains

Gurgling sounds coming from your drains after a toilet flush or running water could indicate a sewer line blockage or full septic tank.

4. Backed-up drains

Whenever you have wastewater backing up into drains, you have a serious problem that needs immediate attention. For example, if you flush your toilet and water comes up into the sink or bathtub, there is a serious block. A Drain Service Expert from Rowell’s will determine if you have clogged sewer or septic line, full septic tank or blocked vent stacks.

5. Soggy, spongy grass

Do you have a section of your yard that is always soggy or spongy? Call Rowell’s Services immediately as this is likely a serious problem in your drain field or a break in your sewer line.
