Frequently asked questions
Can a running toilet overload a Palm City septic field?
It can add enough to matter. Palm City has some 2,871 homes with septic systems on record. A toilet whose flapper no longer seals sends a quiet trickle to the tank every hour of the day and night, and in August, with the drain field already taking the season's rain, that steady extra flow can leave it no room. A few drops of food coloring in the tank show whether it leaks.
Does a reverse-osmosis water filter affect a Palm City septic system?
It adds to it. A reverse-osmosis system under the sink sends water to the drain as it filters, often several gallons for each gallon it keeps, and it does so every time its storage tank refills. In a house on septic, that water goes to the drain field with everything else, and through August, while the rain fills the ground, the field has less room for it.
What lets rain through the tile roof of an older Palm City house?
On a house from the early 1990s with a concrete tile roof, the tiles shed most rain, but wind-driven storms push water between them, and the felt underlayment beneath is what actually keeps it off the roof deck. After three decades that felt can be brittle and torn, so water reaches the nail holes and the deck. Stains on the ceiling near the eaves after an August storm point to it.
