A well-functioning septic system is crucial for managing household wastewater efficiently. However, overloading the septic tank with excess water can lead to various problems, including backups, odors, and potential system failure. By understanding the factors that contribute to water overload and implementing preventive measures, homeowners can ensure the longevity and effectiveness of their septic systems.
Septic systems are designed to handle a specific volume of wastewater based on the size of the tank and the absorption capacity of the drain field. When the amount of water entering the tank exceeds its capacity to treat and dispose of it effectively, several issues can arise.
