• If you have had any modifications in your properties landscaping that includes: a portion of the system being paved over, or crushed, may have caused damages to a portion of the system.
• If you have recently changed the position of downspouts, rain gutters, and or perhaps you have paved areas that are now draining excess water into the area where your septic system is located.
• The biggest reason for failure is the improper maintenance of the system including: pumping the septic tank to remove excess sludge and scum We at Septicare recommend annual maintenance and offer various maintenance plans to meet different budgets.
