When Is a Septic Tank Problem an Emergency?
It’s always important to stay alert to the signs your septic tank needs repair. At what point do those signs rise to the level of an emergency?
Let’s start with this — if the problem is leaving you or anyone in your home or business stressed out and concerned, it can be an emergency. Never hesitate to call us at any time.
Some dangers, however, are worse than others. These are examples of septic tank damage that should definitely prompt a call to Shilling Septic Inc:
- Sewage Backups - This occurs when wastewater cannot flow out of the tank and instead backs up into the home. The unique danger of a sewage backup lies in its immediate impact on health and hygiene. Untreated sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illnesses and infections. Additionally, the presence of raw sewage in living spaces poses a significant biohazard. It’s imperative to remove the waste, disinfect affected areas, and restore sanitary conditions.
- System Failures - A complete septic system failure is perhaps the most severe emergency. This can occur due to various reasons, such as a collapsed tank, severe blockages, or extensive damage to the drain field. The unique danger of a system failure lies in its widespread impact, including the total disruption of household wastewater management. Such failures can lead to extensive property damage, severe health hazards from untreated sewage exposure, and significant environmental harm.
What to Do in a Septic Tank Emergency
After you’ve called our office, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your property:
- Stop water usage immediately: This includes turning off all faucets, avoiding flushing toilets, and postponing laundry or dishwasher use. Reducing water flow helps prevent further system overload and reduces the risk of exacerbating the problem.
- Contain sewage backups: Use barriers like towels or plastic sheeting to keep the sewage in one area. Avoid coming into direct contact with the sewage to prevent exposure to harmful bacteria and pathogens.
