How to Prevent Septic System Failures in Your Home
Slow-moving drains and wastewater/sewage backups are the most common symptoms that all is not well in your plumbing system. The first step is to determine whether these symptoms are caused by an internal/localised blockage or a septic system failure.
Usually, backups will start with the lowest plumbing fixture in the home, and if it affects multiple fixtures, you can assume that the problem is system-wide. Also, watch out for sewage odours, sewage-smelling wet patches in the compound or gurgling sounds from your drains.
