Is there a way to tell if my septic tank is failing?

Yes, you can check for signs of a failing septic tank. These include an increase in the smell of sewage, an increased number of solids and scum floating at the top of the water, or a decrease in the volume of your waste. You may also notice that your toilet is backing up more frequently. If any of these are present, it's important to contact a professional immediately to inspect and repair the septic tank.
