Signs You May Need a Septic System Upgrade

A failing septic system often gives warning signs before it completely stops working. Paying attention to these early indicators can save you from costly damage or full system failure.

You may need an upgrade if you notice: 

• Frequent Repairs: Constantly needing repairs suggests your septic system is outdated and upgrading could provide a more dependable solution.
• Slow Drains: If sinks and toilets continue to drain slowly despite maintenance, your system may be overloaded and due for an upgrade.
• Sewage Backup: Sewage backup in your home signals a failing system; upgrading can prevent such health hazards.
• Pooling Water: Standing water near your septic tank or drain field usually means it’s not processing water correctly, necessitating an upgrade.
• Unpleasant Odors: Persistent bad smells near the septic area indicate ineffective waste processing, pointing to the need for an upgrade.
• Outdated System: Systems over 20-30 years old may not meet modern standards or handle current waste levels effectively; consider upgrading for improved performance.
• Increased Household Size: A growing household or frequent guests increase wastewater output, requiring a system upgrade to handle the additional load.
• High Nitrate Levels in Well Water: Elevated nitrate levels suggest your septic system is contaminating groundwater, and an upgrade can address this issue.
• Poorly Functioning Drain Field: Issues like surface water or wet patches from a failing drain field suggest it’s time to upgrade the system.
• Pending Property Sale: An upgraded septic system can enhance property value and reassure potential buyers of a well-maintained wastewater solution.
