Hello from the team at E&J Septics! As we head into the day, we wanted to share some useful tips and reminders to help you avoid septic system headaches — and to keep things running smoothly.
🔍 Spot the Warning Signs Early
Sometimes, your septic system doesn’t wait for a crisis. Watch out for these signs, so you can call us before small problems turn expensive:
- Slow drainage (in sinks, tubs, or toilets)
- Gurgling sounds in pipes or near the septic tank
- Backups or pooling water around your drain field
- Unpleasant odours in the yard or near the septic tank
- Lush, overly green patches on the grass nearby (could mean a leak)
If you notice any of these, shoot us a message or give us a call — we can help assess whether it’s time for a pump out, repair, or cleaning.
📅 When Was Your Last Pump Out?
A good rule of thumb is every 3–5 years for a typical home septic tank, depending on usage. If it’s been longer, or you’re unsure, better to get ahead of it rather than deal with issues later.
