While you can’t control the weather, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your septic system during extremely rainy weather. Drainfields are designed to handle your wastewater but during extremely wet weather, excess water can puddle over the the septic tank and keep water from flowing out into the soil. A boggy drainfield is natural after heavy rains, but keep an eye for water receding and drying out after the rain is over. Consistent bogginess and odor may mean septic problems. This is especially true for older systems.
What can you do? Divert the rainwater away from your septic tank and drainfield through your gutters and drainspouts. Checking your home for leaky toilets and faucets can keep less water out of your septic system. Also reducing your water usage inside the home can help. Shorten your showers and space out your laundry loads or try to put off doing laundry during the extremely wet weather.
Septic maintenance can also help. Regularly maintaining your septic system and pumping on your tank on a regular basis can be the key to keeping your system healthy and running properly through any weather. Septic Preservation Services offers a great maintenance program. Call them with any questions or to get on a maintenance schedule at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Enclosed septic system used by Septic Preservation Services
Risers on a septic system are the access points through which a person servicing your septic system can see inside the tank. In the image below you see the three tubes rising from the top of the system. Those are the risers. The top is generally put at ground level for easiest access. Some systems do not have risers built into them. When there are no risers present, anyone trying service the system will have to resort to digging holes in the yard to find the access points to the tank. In some cases it is necessary to bring in excavation equipment if the ground proves too difficult to dig by hand.
If you are given the option to add risers to your system, it would be beneficial to anyone servicing the system in the future if you made sure they are put into place before the system is covered over. Your servicemen will thank you, especially if you call Septic Preservation Services to inspect or service your tank!
