If your home has a septic system, you can rely on it for effective waste management as long as it remains in good condition. However, as a homeowner, it is very important to closely monitor your septic system, particularly the septic tank, closely so problems and issues can be discovered and repaired before you deal with a sewage backup or other unpleasant side effect. Luckily, septic tank problems are not super common in well-maintained units, especially newer septic tanks, but they can happen, so it is always good to pay attention and be able to recognize that something is wrong.
