Lisa and her kids came to her sister’s place in Santa Fe. While helping her sister in cooking, she noticed that the sink was gurgling. She immediately suspected an issue with their tank. Upon discussing the matter with her sister, they all learnt that they never thought about the system after installation.

So, they immediately booked a septic inspection followed by pumping. They all had to vacate the house for 2 days. Because the tank was in a bad shape and they could not use it while it was getting cleaned. Not only did they have to deal with added hassles, but it was also extremely expensive. All of this could have been avoided; they didn’t neglect the septic system.

Key signs you need septic pumping in your Santa Fe NM home!

Gurgling sounds from the pipeline

Gurgling noises from the pipeline shouldn’t be ignored. It happens when the septic system is nearing capacity and wastewater has a hard time passing through the pipes. This is a clear sign that your septic tank needs to be pumped. Ignoring it can lead to bigger problems.

Foul smell around the house

A pungent smell near the drainage points of the house is an alarming sign. Bad smells develop over time in the tank, and when it's getting full, these gases come to the surface and mix with the environment. In addition to making your space uninviting, these also pose a serious health hazard for the living beings.

Clogs. Blockages. Backups

Facing one of them? Or all three together? Are you thinking of getting the most potent declogger this time? Or the nastiest acid to clear the pipeline at once? If you are nodding in yes! Then let me tell you- “you are going to make the issue worse”. Yes, you read it right.

An occasional backup or clog usually means something is stuck in the system—maybe grease, waste, or toilet paper that didn’t break down properly. But if it is happening repeatedly, everywhere in the house, it is a clear signal that the tank is nearing capacity. Or it is full already. It needs professional pumping services, not a more potent declogger.

Declogger and acid will kill the good bacteria in the tank that are responsible for breaking down the waste naturally.

Final words!

A septic system is out of sight, but should never be out of mind. Investing in timely pumping services by 505 Portable Restrooms helps prevent backups, foul odors, and costly repairs.
