Troubleshooting System
Troubleshooting septic and sewer systems is an essential service that involves identifying and resolving issues to ensure proper functionality and prevent costly repairs. At Bosco Septic & Sewer, we specialize in diagnosing problems within these systems, using our expertise and advanced tools to pinpoint the root causes of malfunctions.
Common Issues and Symptoms:
- Septic Alarm Activation:
- What It Indicates: An alarm may sound if the system’s pump is malfunctioning or if the tank is nearing full capacity.
- Action: Our team will investigate the cause, checking the pump, float switches, and tank levels to determine the appropriate solution.
- Slow Draining Fixtures:
- What It Indicates: If sinks, toilets, or bathtubs are draining slowly, it may suggest a clog in the plumbing lines or septic system.
- Action: We assess the entire drainage system, using tools like cameras and jetters to locate and remove blockages.
- Backups in the Home:
- What It Indicates: Frequent backups or gurgling sounds in the plumbing can indicate a full septic tank or a clog in the sewer line.
- Action: We will perform a thorough inspection of the septic tank and sewer lines, determining whether pumping or repairs are needed.
- Sewage Surfacing:
- What It Indicates: If sewage is surfacing in the yard, it typically means the septic tank is full, or the drain field is saturated.
- Action: Immediate intervention is required. We will evaluate the system’s performance and recommend pumping or repairs to restore functionality.
- Unpleasant Odors:
- What It Indicates: Foul smells around the septic tank or drain field can indicate leaks or system failure.
- Action: Our technicians will inspect for leaks, check tank integrity, and assess the overall condition of the system to prevent environmental contamination.
