Common Septic System Warning Signs

If you notice any of these warning signs, call RooterPLUS to address them promptly and avoid costly repairs or system failure.

  • Slow Drains: Sinks, toilets, or showers draining sluggishly.

How Septic Systems Work

Septic tanks are watertight containers made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. They collect and process wastewater from your home. Over time, regular maintenance, such as pumping and inspections, is essential to prevent system failure and environmental damage.

Georgia homeowners should schedule septic tank pumping every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance.
