4 Signs you Need to Have Your Septic Tank Cleaned

Mar 17, 2022 | Frequently Asked Questions, Septic Tank Cleaning

  1. Slow Drains and Flushing

If any drains in your building, such as a sink, shower, or toilet drain, seem inefficient or slow, then it is a sure sign your septic tank needs cleaning. At this point, you could call a commercial septic tank cleaning company, such as Drain Blasters.

  1. Odour

The fuller a septic tank is, the less air there is for the gases that build up inside it. When there is no more room left, the gases escape through your drains or over your drain field, causing a strong smell of sulphur or sewage.

  1. Standing Water

If there is standing water above your business’s drainage field, then your problem of a full septic tank is almost at critical levels. Standing water occurs when a septic tank is so full it overflows in the ground above it.

  1. Sewage Backup

If at any point raw sewage starts backing up through the drains of your commercial property, it has become an issue requiring emergency service. While a good septic tank cleaning may help solve the problem, you will need a full septic system inspection to ensure there is no damage. Drain Blasters. is available 24/7 to provide commercial emergency service for cases like these.
