Sometimes septic gases will seep out around our home. Their odor is very unpleasant, but you do not have to suffer from them. The gases are created in the septic tank when waste is naturally broken down. The treated material is then redistributed into the ground under the tank. To prevent the sewage gases from backing into your home when you flush your toilet or put water down the drain, the gases exit through vent pipes to your roof. Usually, the gases are dispersed by the outside air. However, due to certain environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity, the gases may linger. Methane filters can aid in the elimination of these gases. You can purchase methane filters online and easily attach them to the vents located on your roof. Some septic systems have vents on top the septic tank. You’ll find that methane filters fit just as easily on these vent pipes as well. These carbon-based filters absorb the methane and hydrogen sulfide gases as they exit the vents, ending the odorous gas smells as soon as they exit.
