Septic tank smells and septic tank odors

Septic tank care is crucial to maintain a healthy septic system.

It is possible to remove septic tank odors. When you have septic tank odors, you
may not always notice them. These odors are more potent at night or during heavy rains. If the septic tank odors appear only during heavy rains, it may be a sign you need to have your tank pumped. If your tank is filled, it is more likely to
overflow. When the ground is saturated, it is more difficult for the septic system
to drain easily and properly.

If the odor is noticeable only at night, or in the early morning, then all you may
need to do is purchase a special filter that fits onto your vent pipe. This filter
will actually remove the foul odors. The vent is very easy to install. No tools
are needed; all you need do is slip the filter onto the end of the vent pipe.

When you buy filters, you do have to specific the sizes to match the size of your
vent pipe. Most vent pipes are located on your roof, however some directly connected to the septic tank. Attaching the filter is a simple and inexpensive way to put an end to an olfactory problem.
