I’m trying to figure out if I’m overthinking this or if something’s actually wrong. Lately we’ve noticed slow drains around the house and a faint sewage smell outside near where the septic tank is. Nothing is overflowing yet, but it doesn’t feel normal either. We haven’t had the system checked in a while, so I’m wondering what the first step should be. Do you start with pumping, inspection, or checking the pump and filters? Would appreciate advice from anyone who’s dealt with early septic issues.
