Few people want to spend too much time thinking about their home's septic tank, but sometimes, circumstances require it. A working septic tank is one of the single most important aspects of a modern home, and when it begins malfunctioning or even shows signs of trouble, these issues should be addressed immediately. Chris Mote's Pumping Service, based in Cleveland, GA, shares the biggest warning signs your tank needs pumping service

3 Warning Signs You Need Pumping Services

1. Draining Trouble

If you start noticing your toilet, bathtub, or sinks are having trouble draining water or are draining slower than normal, there's a strong possibility your septic tank is full. The other potential culprit for slow draining is a clog, but if you're having issues with multiple drains or haven't had any success using de-clogging products, it's time to look to the septic tank. 

2. Foul Smells

3. Wastewater Backup

This is the most urgent of all signs and indicates you should call for pumping services immediately. If you start noticing wastewater backing up through the pipes and into your bathtubs, toilets, and sink drains, pick up the phone. This issue brings with it the possibility of structural damage and can harm your health.
