In Armour Square, where older homes and Chicago’s swamp-built foundation create extra challenges, we often recommend annual inspections. You can’t tell by looking when your tank is full, and waiting too long leads to expensive repairs or system failure.
Regular pumping prevents solid waste buildup that damages your tank and drain field, saving you thousands in replacement costs.
Call immediately if you notice sewage odor in your home, toilets backing up, slow drains throughout the house, or standing water in your yard above the septic tank. These indicate serious problems that can quickly become health hazards.
Other warning signs include gurgling sounds when you flush, unusually green grass over your drain field, or water backing up in your basement. In Chicago’s combined sewer system, these problems can escalate rapidly during heavy storms.
