Septic and Sewer Concerns
Owning a home is likely the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime, and while it comes with a lot of pride, it also comes with a lot of responsibility. While certain areas of your home might be more obvious in terms of improvement, there are certain things you likely don’t give a second thought to unless there are signs of complication, one of these areas is your septic system. So how do you know when something is not right? Here are some common signs, according to the Washington State Department of Health.
Signs of Septic System Failure
Water and sewage from toilets, drains, and sinks are backing up into the home.
Bathtubs, showers, and sinks drain very slowly.
Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
Standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drainfield.
Bad odors around the septic tank or drainfield.
Bright green, spongy lush grass over the septic tank or drainfield, even during dry weather.
Algal blooms in nearby ponds or lakes.
High levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria in water wells.

“Biggs Backhoe has done several jobs for me over the last couple of years. They installed my aerobic septic system when we built our home and they service it. They installed a storm shelter and they hauled in shale and gravel when they built our driveway and installed a tin horn. I’ve visited with just about everyone from the company and every one of them has been friendly and helpful. I don’t plan on building another house but if I did, I would definitely hire Biggs Backhoe to do everything we had them do again. Great company and great people.” ~ Eli
