Frequently Asked Questions About Summit Lawn Construction
How Can I Tell My Septic System Needs To Be Inspected?
If you are noticing any of these signs, your system may need to be inspected:
• Your drains flush slowly
• You smell foul odors or raw sewage on your property
• Pooling water
• Your property's well water is contaminated
• Dying plants or grass
What Are Common Signs of a Failing Septic System?
• Water and sewage from toilets, drains, and sinks backing up into the home’s plumbing
• Bathtubs, showers, and sinks draining very slowly
• Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system
• Standing water or damp spots near or over the septic tank or drain field
• Sewage odors around the septic tank or drain field
• Bright green, spongy, lush grass over the septic tank or drain field, even during dry weather
• Straight pipe discharging untreated wastewater to the ground surface
• Algae blooms in nearby lakes or water bodies
• High levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria in surface waters or drinking water wells
How Do I Find a Copy of My Septic System’s Design?
Typically, a septic system is permitted and inspected by your local permitting authority (i.e., local health or environmental department). You can contact these entities to obtain a copy of your property’s septic record drawing (the “as-built” design) and copies of the permit(s). The permit(s) may also have additional information on your system, such as the date of installation, soil properties, etc.
How Much Does It Cost To Waterproof My Basement?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to waterproofing your basement. The solution needs to be designed specifically to address your issues and accomplish your goals.
What Are the Signs of a Basement Leak?
Leaking basements offer a few obvious indicators like pools of water on the floor or water trickling down the walls. But there are several other ways water damage can show itself as well:
• A rapid increase in mold or mildew
• Musty odors
• Damp spots on the walls or floor
• A white, chalky substance on the walls
• Cracks in the walls or floor
• Peeling paint or bubbling wallpaper
• Rust on appliances or other metal objects
• Dry rot
• Warped paneling or wood
