WHY DOES MY SYSTEM HAVE A FOUL ODOR?

Common Causes:

•  Failed or underperforming aeration compressor
•  Damaged air lines or clogged diffusers
•  Chemical contamination disrupting bacterial balance
•  System overwhelmed by excessive water usage: 
   1. Structural tank damage allowing groundwater infiltration
   2. Plumbing leaks
   3. Household occupancy exceeding system capacity
   4. Concentrated laundry cycles
 
If you experience an indoor odor it typically indicates a plumbing issue rather than septic.

Common Causes:

•  Dry P-traps - run water through seldom used fixtures
•  Debris accumulation in P-traps - clear P-trap obstruction
•  Inadequate plumbing ventilation
