FAQs About Septic Backups
One of the problems we get called to deal with the most frequently here at Tampa Bay Septic is a septic backup. To help you avoid this problem, we have put together the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions on the topic to give you a better understanding of what causes this problem and what to do about it.
What causes a septic backup?
A few different things can cause a septic backup. One is failing to have your tank pumped on time, which causes the sludge to build up until there’s no more room in the tank. Another common cause of backup is flushing items like menstrual pads, wet wipes, and other non-biodegradable items down the drain—these items don’t break down in the tank, and they can create blockages that cause sewage backup.
How can I avoid septic backup?
The best ways to prevent your system from backing up are to make sure to have the tank pumped regularly and avoid introducing items into the system that could damage your tank. This includes not flushing menstrual pads and wipes, as well as not disposing of things like oil, paint thinner, or other hazardous substances by pouring them down the drain.
