As important as trees and shrubs are for the environment and for your home’s look, their roots can wreak havoc with septic systems. Before planting, locate the tank and lines. Then consider the species being planted and locate them far enough away from the system so its roots do not invade it.
Drain lines from the home to the septic tank can become clogged by waste material, roots, or from partial or complete collapse. Having a trained septic technician run a snake through the line is the most effective method of identifying the problem.
According to the USDA, the main reason a drainage bed fails is because of improper septic tank maintenance. This, in turn, causes the soil absorption system to clog because of a buildup of solids throughout the system.
If the absorption field is saturated, pumping the septic tank will only offer temporary relief from the problem. The leach field and septic system need to be inspected to determine the cause of the problems so that the proper steps can be taken to correct them.
When a septic tank is not pumped out regularly, there is not enough room for the solids and lighter elements to separate from the effluent, resulting in a contaminated or pipe-clogging discharge.
