Septic systems are a part of countless homes in Lancaster, serving as a convenient way to eliminate household waste without having to open a drain down the street. The septic system consists of two main components the septic tank and the leach field.

A typical septic system has both a tank and a leach field. When sewage enters the tank, bacteria break down the solid waste into liquid waste called effluent. This effluent travels through underground pipes before being released into the soil below the ground.

The following are the signs of a clogged septic or graywater filter in Lancaster, Ohio.

Sewer lines typically carry wastewater away from your household's drains and into the surrounding area. There should always be sufficient flow through that system throughout the year. However, too much buildup on the sewer line can restrict the flow of wastewater and prevent it from exiting properly. This causes sewage backups into basements and other areas around your house.

High effluent levels can signify that you need to clean your septic tank. If there are high levels, this may mean that solid waste is clogging up the septic tank. Rather than throwing it away or flushing it down the toilet, you could store it in a trash bag and throw it into your dumpster. This will allow the solid waste to decompose and turn into liquid so that your septic system works properly. There should always be an adequate amount of effluent running into your leach field, but if there is not, it could back up inside your home or basement.
