Septic Tank Problems- Visual Inspection

If your septic system is failing or malfunctioning, it's always a prudent course of action to make a visual inspection of the area. This method is also a must when you are purchasing a new home or property. So, start by walking around the yard and looking for wet, smelly areas, or any place that indicates a septic failure. If you run into an area that is spongy and is giving off a strong odor, then it's a safe bet that there is a serious problem with the septic tank, and the the blockage or leak is in a nearby area.

If you are purchasing a home and are inspecting the septic system for signs of weakness, take note of the area in which the septic tank is located. Is it in a depression or flat area that is prone to flooding and poor drainage? Is the septic tank located near streams, rivers, ponds, your well, or other water sources? If any of these things are true, take extra precautions to make sure the septic system is working properly and does not have any problems.
