Common Septic Problems in Colchester Homes

Colchester’s mix of rural properties, older systems, and unpredictable weather means we see these issues often:

Slow or gurgling drains—often caused by full tanks or clogged lines

Pooling water—a sign of drain field failure or improper drainage

Foul odors—often due to venting issues or backups

Repetitive pumping with no improvement—which could mean deeper problems

Outdated tanks—older systems made of steel or block may be collapsing silently

These problems are more common than you think—and much easier to fix when caught early.
