Reliable Septic Inspection in San Fernando, CA

Vulnerabilities of a Septic System

A septic system may seem simple; it's just a tank, some pipes, and a drain field - right? Well, it's more sophisticated. A septic system is a delicate balance of engineering and biology. That balance is always at threat. For instance, solids build up in the tank, tree roots threaten to infiltrate pipes, and natural wear and tear take their toll.

Luckily, there are measures you can take to reduce your risks. You can stagger dishwasher and laundry machine usage to avoid overwhelming the tank with water, and consciously plant trees a safe distance away from the septic system. You should also have the septic systems inspected by a certified professional.

During a septic system check in San Fernando, a certified septic inspector will examine everything from your tank, baffles, and filters to the drain field and soil conditions. Whether we uncover issues and you get them resolved, or we determine the septic system is doing perfectly fine, the peace of mind is always a win.

Signs of Septic Trouble

Periodic septic inspections - like once every couple of years - is always advisable, but what if disaster strikes in between those appointments? You must be able to understand when something's not right. For beginners, here are some warning signs to beware:

• Slow Drains: If multiple sinks, tubs, and toilets drain sluggishly, then you've got a deep problem. This often means that the septic tank is full or the drain field is overwhelmed. Call Rooter Man if there's soggy grass or soil in the yard.
• Foul Odors: The smell of sewage out in the yard around the septic tank and drain field are clear signs of a sewage leak. If you expect it to go away on its own, then hold your nose but not your breath.
• Wet Spots or Lush Grass: Leaking wastewater will cause puddling and soggy soil, but it can also fertilize the grass and give your yard some luscious but patchy grass.
• Backups: The most obvious (and unpleasant) symptom of a failing system is sewage backing up into your home. Don't panic. Call Rooter Man Plumbing for a quick septic system check in San Fernando.

Urgently addressing these red flags can be the difference between a quick septic pumping and a costly septic repair in San Fernando. Call or message Rooter Man if you have any questions or concerns. We are proud to offer emergency septic services.
