Main Causes of Septic Backup

Shrub and tree roots can also cause a lot of problems for septic systems. Thirsty roots will often infiltrate septic lines. Once inside, they usually grow out of control quickly because of the high level of nutrients inside the wastewater. These roots can block the proper flow of water through your system, causing chronic backups. If left in place for long, they can even cause burst pipes and sewer line collapses. A root removal and trenchless pipe repair service may be needed to fix the issue long term. 

Full Tank 

Over time, the grease, oil, soap residue, food, hair, toilet paper and other debris will build up on the floor and walls of your septic tank. If these materials aren’t removed periodically, it can harden, decreasing the overall capacity of your system. This can cause backups and damage to your tank. To avoid this issue, it is best to invest in routine septic pumping and septic tank cleaning services every 2 to 4 years.
