Dealing with Post-Heavy Rainfall Septic Issues: Tips and Solutions


After a heavy rainfall, your septic system may face a range of challenges that can lead to backups or inefficiencies. Here are some common issues and how our services can help:


1. Overflowing Septic Tanks: Excess rainwater can overwhelm your septic tank, causing it to overflow. This can lead to sewage backups in your home.

Solution: We offer emergency pumping services to alleviate the pressure and prevent further damage.


2. Waterlogging of Drain Fields: Saturated drain fields can’t properly filter wastewater, leading to slow drainage or standing water.

Solution: Our team can assess the drain field’s condition and offer solutions that meet each unique situation.


3. Septic Odors: Heavy rains can stir up gases and odors from the septic system, causing unpleasant smells inside or outside your home.

Solution: We provide thorough inspections and maintenance to ensure proper ventilation and prevent odor issues.


4. Pipe Leaks or Breaks: Increased water pressure from heavy rains can stress septic system pipes, causing leaks or breaks.

Solution: Our repair services include locating and fixing pipe leaks promptly to prevent further damage.


5. Ground Erosion Around the Tank: Excessive rainwater can erode the soil around your septic tank, compromising its stability.

Solution: We offer landscaping and grading services to reinforce the tank’s surroundings and prevent erosion.
