🌧️ SEQ, How are your septic trenches coping with all this rain⛈️
👉🏼Waterlogged and struggling?
Your septic trenches rely on the surrounding soil to absorb wastewater. When the ground becomes saturated, that process can be compromised.
👀 What to look out for:
💦 Pooling water or unusually soggy ground over your trenches.
👃🏼 Foul odour/ Sewage smells
🚽 Slow draining toilets, showers or sinks
⚠️ Wastewater surfacing on the ground
☀️ Don’t forget to check after the rain☀️
If the rest of your yard is drying out, but the area around your trenches remains boggy, wet or smelly your system could be struggling.
A wet patch doesn’t automatically mean failure, but persistent soggy ground and sewerage smells should not be ignored.
📱 Concerned about your septic trenches? Now could be a good time to get them checked before a small problem becomes a bigger one.
