Need Septic Repair?



Action Septic Tank Service advises homeowners to care for their septic system with regular maintenance. It's best to schedule yearly septic inspections and have your tank pumped every 2-3 years.

At times, your septic system may show signs of trouble and failure. It's important to be aware of these warning signals because your system may be in need of repair. Some possible signs of septic problems and failure may look (and even smell) like the following:
-Slowly draining sinks and toilets
-Gurgling sounds in the plumbing
-Sewage backups
-Unpleasant odors in or around your house
-Bacteria present in well water
-Patches of grass that are greener in color
-Noticeably soggy areas of the lawn/soil
-Depressions in the soil
-Soft soil near your septic tank or drainfield

If you are experiencing problems with your system, always contact a septic professional. For more information and septic service, please visit www.actionseptictankservice.com.
