A septic tank that\u2019s too full is <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> an experience any homeowner wants to have. Sewer backup is gross, it damages your property, it takes ages to clean – all and all, one of the worst things that can happen in your home. Here at Clean Line, we offer <\/span>septic tank cleaning Winnipeg<\/span><\/a> can trust – but that\u2019s only good if you know <\/span>when<\/span><\/i> you need your septic tank cleaned. This brief post will help you spot the signs of a septic tank that might be too full.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sign 1: Your Cleaning is Scheduled<\/span><\/p>\n

We can schedule regular septic tank cleanings for you, so that you don\u2019t need to check for the signs we\u2019ll be discussing below. Depending on how often your septic tank is being used, and how big it is, you might need to have your tank pumped more or less. A rule of thumb is that homeowners should have the septic tank cleaned every 3 to 5 years. For businesses of various types, you might want the tank cleaned quite a bit more often. We\u2019ll evaluate how often the tank should be cleaned based on your habits, and create a schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sign 2: Slow Drains<\/span><\/p>\n

When your septic tank is quite full, you\u2019ll find that your drains move a little more slowly; they might even become clogged. That\u2019s because there\u2019s only so much room in the tank; when it\u2019s very full, the drains themselves will slowly become filled with the sewage that couldn\u2019t quite fit into the tank. Should you notice that drainage is occurring more and more slowly, it\u2019s very likely that you need to have your tank pumped.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sign 3: A Bad Smell<\/span><\/p>\n

The nose knows; if your home or business is starting to smell like sewage, it\u2019s very likely that your tank is too full, and mild backup has begun to occur. You might get a whiff of something bad outside or inside; either way, it\u2019s probably time to get the septic tank pumped.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sign 4: The Grass is Greener<\/span><\/p>\n

Human waste is an interesting ecological problem; we\u2019re always trying to find ways to make our society more efficient, and some have proposed using our waste as a fertilizer,<\/span> to mixed reception<\/span><\/a>. There\u2019s no question that human waste is <\/span>efficient<\/span><\/i>, though – for example, just look at what happens if your septic field starts getting an excess of waste from your too-full septic tank. You\u2019ll see <\/span>incredibly<\/span><\/i> green, luscious, healthy grass, and it means you need to have your tank cleaned.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sign 5: Sewage Backup<\/span><\/p>\n

You really don\u2019t want things to get to this point; that\u2019s why we gave you the other 4 signs. Obviously, if you\u2019re experiencing sewage backup, your septic tank is too full; it\u2019s an emergency, and you\u2019ll need your tank pumped immediately. Don\u2019t risk trying to do this on your own; septic tanks are dangerous. For <\/span>plumbers in Winnipeg<\/a> choose Clean Line.<\/p>\n
