What you get from Mainline Plumbing:
the main choice for home services since 2012
We recommend pumping your septic tank every three to five years, but the frequency can vary depending on the size of your household and tank. Spring is the perfect time to schedule septic maintenance after heavy use during the winter months.
A strong odor could mean trouble. It’s best to contact (954) 280-5597 immediately to have your system inspected. Spring air and moisture can exacerbate septic odors, making it easier to identify a problem early.
Most household cleaners are safe in moderation, but try to avoid overusing them, especially during spring cleaning. Products with harsh chemicals can disrupt the bacteria in your septic tank and reduce its efficiency.
Minor issues, like unclogging a drain, may be manageable for a particularly handy homeowner with extensive plumbing experience. But, most septic system repairs are best left to professionals at Mainline Plumbing, AC & Electrical. Our team has the expertise and tools to handle problems thoroughly and safely. When you work with our certified technicians, you can rest assured that your septic tank will be running properly again in no-time.
To prepare your septic system for the South Florida spring weather, schedule your annual maintenance service, inspect your drain field for proper drainage, and consider installing a sump pump if your property is prone to flooding. These preparation tactics should keep your septic system running smoothly through the rainy season.
Septic tanks are a great, self-sustaining alternative to connecting your plumbing to a county or municipal sewage system. However, you will still need to have your septic tank serviced from time to time. Signs that your tank may require service include:
If you find that your sink or shower drains are running slowly, an issue with your septic tank may be to blame. Call (954) 280-5597 to schedule a technician who can diagnose and repair the septic issue right away.
Patches of grass in your yard that are greener and more vibrant than others can actually occur due to leaks from your septic tank. If you notice such patches in your yard, you should contact us to schedule a repair as soon as possible!
When you flush your toilet or drain your bathtub, do you hear any gurgling sounds? If so, a septic tank repair is likely in order.
Any time you start to get a whiff of what smells like septic wastewater, this is cause for immediate concern. Foul odors such as these are almost always a sign of a serious septic issue.
Of course it’s to be expected that water might pool in your yard after a heavy rainfall. However, if you notice water pooling in your yard despite little to no rain or storms, it could be due to a leak coming from your septic tank. You’ll need to bring in our pros to take a look at your tank and get to the bottom of it.
