Warning Signs Your Septic System Is Crying for Help

At Central Penn Septic, we encourage homeowners to watch for these critical warning signs:

The Nose Knows: Unpleasant Odors

When your septic system becomes overfull, it releases gases that create distinct odors. If you notice sewage smells from toilets, indoor drains, or near your drain field, contact us immediately.

Slow Drains and Flushing

When bathtubs, showers, toilets, or sinks drain slower than usual, it often signals a clogged or overfull system requiring professional attention.
