The fault is traced on site first, so the repair fixes the cause rather than just the symptom.

Do this first

• Cut water use: spread out laundry, showers and the dishwasher.
• Keep people, pets and vehicles off wet spots and away from any sewage.
• Never enter or lean into a septic tank: the gases inside can be deadly.
• Note when the tank was last pumped and where the lids are, if you know.
