Smell Removal
Your septic system includes ventilation pipes along with the tank and leach field.
Ventilation pipes allow air to come in through and exit the roof, aiding the drainpipes from your home to the septic tank. They work on the same way as punching two holes into a juice can in order for the continents to pour out smoothly. If you didn’t have vent pipes, material and air would gurgle back up into your home through your sinks, tubs, and toilets. Instead, the vent pipes allow the sewage and the gases to exit your home.
If you notice septic gas smells in your home, the source of the problem will be with your indoor plumbing. A plumber will have to be called in order to fix the problem. If you notice septic odor outside the house, the problem will probably be coming from your vent pipes. By placing filters on all of your vent pipes, the
odors immediately disappear.
You might notice seasonal problems with your system. During heavy rains, your ground becomes saturated and unable to natural filter your septic tank. Pumping out your septic tank might be your only option to remove the smell.
Leaves and debris clogging the vents, as well as, very cold winters that freeze the pipes makes it difficult for the gases to exit your home. Simply by removing debris from your vents and thawing out the frozen pipes will aid in elimination of septic tank odors. There currently on the market more sophisticated vent filters with solar fans that will help prevent the your vent pipes from freezing.
