• Slow drains -- One of the most common signs that your septic tank is experience damage or failing is slow drains. This can come in the form of your sinks draining water very slowly, or your toilet bowl draining slowly. The solution most people use for these issues is harsh chemical drain cleaners, but this is actually more damaging to your health and your home’s health and will only make your problem worse – you need a Septic Blue of Raleigh team member. 
• Foul odors -- If your eyes can’t see the signs, your nose definitely will. If you are constantly smelling rotten eggs or a gas-like smell coming from your sinks, your toilets, or your showers, your septic tank has been compromised in some way. While this isn’t always a sign of septic tank failure, it is an issue that should be addressed as quickly as possible.
• Standing water -- If you notice a smell when you walk outside, or you notice standing water anywhere in your yard, your septic tank is having some trouble. Water isn’t ever supposed to be pooled in your yard, so this should be a major red flag that something is wrong with your septic tank.
