How to fix a backed up septic tank

Follow these steps to keep your home’s septic tank on track:

1) Hire a professional to put a small camera down your septic system. This will determine whether you have an internal breakage.

2) If it’s determined that the problem isn’t mechanical, you may need bacteria added. As previously mentioned, this helps break down any blockages.

3) Order bacteria online that are designed for septic systems. Ensure it gets in there ASAP to help break things down.

4) Wait for the bacteria to do its job. Depending on the age and condition of your septic system, it could take a few days or even a few weeks for the bacteria to eat through clogs.
