Don’t wait if you’re seeing any of these warning signs. Addressing cesspool issues early prevents messy, expensive emergencies that can damage your property and create health hazards. The most obvious sign of a broken cesspool is when the plumbing system backs up or fails.
Standing water near your cesspool, unusually lush grass over the system area, or toilets that won’t flush properly all signal immediate pumping needs. Immediate action can save you thousands of dollars and prevent further contamination of your local water system.
Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, limit garbage disposal use, and don’t pour grease or chemicals down drains. Use septic-safe toilet paper and cleaning products when possible. Spread out laundry loads rather than doing multiple loads in one day to avoid overwhelming your system.
Keep the area around your cesspool clear of heavy vehicles or structures that could damage the system. Many people make the mistake of using their sinks and toilets as an easy way to get rid of unwanted garbage, but this can wreak havoc on your cesspool system.
Regular maintenance and smart usage habits can help extend the time between pumpings, but don’t skip scheduled service to save money. Waiting too long between pumping services allows waste layers to compact and harden, making removal more difficult and expensive.
