What do you do when your septic tank is full?

Septic tanks are always full with sewage. Depending on the region you live, there may be more than one and/or more than one type of tank serving your home.

If the reason for your question is that you see water pooling in your yard around the tank or drainfield (the place where your sewage water goes when working properly) you need to contact a septic tank repair/pumping company to diagnose your problem.

If you are experiencing sewage backup or very slow drains in the lowest bathroom or Plumbing fixture in your home, you will need to contact a plumbing contrator to determine if there is a sewer blockage between the house and septic tank inlet baffle first; if it is not blocked, follow the above paragraph.

Either way, consult a professional knowledgeable of the systems of your area.
