Sewage coming back into the house is the clearest sign. Florida's septic owner's guide says a failing system can push sewage into your house or onto your yard. The same guide says untreated sewage contains disease-causing germs and may seep into drinking water wells.
Treat sewage in the house or the yard as urgent, and call or text (561) 239-5838. Slow drains and gurgling pipes give you more warning. The EPA lists both as signs of a failing system, so they are worth a call as well.
Stop running water first. Hold off on laundry and showers, and flush as little as you can. Every gallon that goes down a drain adds to the backup.
Keep all people and pets away from the sewage, as UF/IFAS Extension advises. Anyone cleaning up should wear boots and waterproof gloves. Wash your hands well after any contact.
Leave the septic tank lid closed. EPA guidance warns that septic tanks may contain dangerous gases. Keep cars off the ground over the tank and drainfield, as the state guide advises.
A clog in the line to the tank can back up a toilet while the tank works fine. Hydro jetting can clear that line with high-pressure water. At the tank, the state's septic guide names excess solids or a clogged or damaged filter as causes of failure.
Past the tank, the drainfield needs dry soil under it. UF/IFAS Extension ranks the depth of that dry soil among the biggest factors in how a system works. When that soil gets soaked, the system cannot do its job as well.
In South Florida, rain is a big part of that picture. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals put Palm Beach International Airport at about 62 inches of rain a year. Most of it falls from June to October, and UF/IFAS warns that hurricane rain will likely soak drainfield soil.
