Flooding

3 Things to Do When Your Septic System is Flooded

With thunderstorm season on the way, the likelihood that your septic tank will flood is rising. For that reason, it is critical to keep a watchful eye for signs of a flooded system. If you notice that drains are emptying slowly, you may have a problem.

Do not pump. Reduce water use instead

When flooding arrives, many people like to pump. However, if the ground is truly waterlogged, pumping could result in further damage to the tank.

What To Do if You Have A Water Main Break

If you detect signs of a water main break on your property—such as flooding, noise coming from underground pipes, or unusually high water bills—take swift action right away! Contact your local utility provider immediately and follow their instructions on how to proceed.
