Some of the most common problems with a septic tank system include clogged pipes, leaking pipes, and malfunctioning pumps. Additionally, there may be an issue with the soil absorption rate or inadequate treatment of wastewater before it enters the septic tank. Finally, if the septic tank is too small to handle the volume of wastewater produced, this can lead to overflows and backups in the home's plumbing system.
