We went out to pump a customer’s septic tank after he said he thought tree roots might be causing problems… 🌳
When we got there, the tank was literally UNDER the tree. After 20 years of growth, the roots had completely taken over the area and we couldn’t even access it to pump.
This is why septic tanks and trees should never be too close together. Roots will always find their way to moisture.
If it’s been a while since your system was checked, give Elite Drain & Septic Service a call for an inspection before small problems turn into major repairs. 205-715-3401
