The Dangers of Failing Septic Tanks
Failing septic tanks put your Croydon home at serious risk of:
- Raw Sewage Backups – Leaky, cracked tanks flood properties with foul-smelling wastewater laden with hazardous bacteria.
- Extensive Home Damage – Uncontained sewage can erode foundations and collapse structural elements like floors.
- Pest and Vermin Infestations – Faulty tanks attract flies, cockroaches, rats and other disease-carrying pests through subsurface tunnels.
- Groundwater Contamination – Leaking waste seeps into aquifers and wells, spreading pathogens into drinking water.
- Exorbitant Repair Costs – Replacing entire drain fields or structural remediation from sewage damage can cost tens of thousands of pounds.
6 Warning Signs Your Septic Tank Is About to Fail
- Wet, Spongy Soil – If lush or soggy patches appear around your tank or drainage field, leaking wastewater likely nears the surface, signalling future backflows into your property.
- Persistent Plumbing Backups – Slow drainage in toilets or bathtubs transforms into complete backups as pipe blockages grow more severe in failing systems.
- Powerful Rotten-Egg Scent – If a pervasive stench of sulfur or ammonia surrounds your yard, tank leakage spreads bacterial contamination outdoors, threatening indoor living spaces next.
- Visible Surface Puddles – Puddles appearing downhill from your septic field or tank show dangerously overloaded evacuation capacity.
- Swarming Pests – Flies, insects, rats and other pests infesting basement vents or yard drains get attracted by the nutrients in septic leakage.
- Tank Alarm Activation – Sophisticated septic system sensors provide warnings if any pre-set wastewater threshold gets crossed as structural integrity declines.
