Extend the Life of Your System

To understand the condition of your septic system, a professional inspection should be performed every year or two, depending on the number of people living at the residence. During the inspection, John Fowler’s Plumbing will look for signs such as:

Corrosion
Sludge thickness
Condition of baffles
Leaks
Volume issues
Root intrusion
Dislodged dividing walls
…and other issues

If you’ve recently purchased a home with a septic system, or it’s been a number of years since your last inspection, John Fowler’s Plumbing can inspect your tank, pipes, and drainfield to ensure the longevity of your system.

Avoid Catastrophic Septic Failures

Septic systems do not fail gracefully. But, there are some warning signs that your septic system is beginning to fail. Catching these early can save you a great deal of time, money, and embarrassment.

The top signs that something is wrong with your septic system include:

Backflow in toilets, sinks, and drains
Slow-draining shower, tub, and sink drains
Foul odors around the drainfield or septic tank
Unexplainably damp soil near drainfield
Strange gurgling noises from drains
Overly green or lush grass over tank or drainfield
High bacteria or nitrate levels in water well

Failing septic systems aren’t only unpleasant, but they can also put your health and property at risk — especially if your drinking water comes from a well-based system.

Connect Your Septic System to City Sewer

If your local municipality has recently laid sewer lines on your street, it may be a good idea to connect your wastewater line to the city’s sewer. There are a number of advantages that come with making the switch. You won’t have the constant worry of a guest flushing something they shouldn’t have. And, city sewer lines require much less maintenance compared to septic systems.

John Fowler’s Plumbing can help secure permits and get you started on converting your septic system to the city sewer. Give us a call today to get started on your septic-to-sewer conversion!
