Recognizing the early signs of septic system failure can save you from costly repairs and possible health hazards. Noticing slow drainage from your sinks, tubs, toilets, or washing machine is often the first indicator. Another telling sign is a backup of toilets, sinks, drains, or even your washing machine. This is usually followed by unpleasant sewage odors. If you hear gurgling sounds when you flush or drain water, that can be a signal of a problem as well. Wet or mushy ground around your tank or the drain field area is a clear sign of system failure. Also, take note of any grass growing faster or appearing greener in one particular area of your lawn as this could be an indication of an overflowing tank.
