The treatment and disposal of wastewater using mound systems is intended to be odourless. However, if mound systems are not properly maintained and operated, they may emit odours.

The following are some typical reasons for odours in mound systems:

Overload

If the mound system is too full, it could not be able to process the wastewater properly, which could result in odours. A number of things, such as using excessive amounts of water, flushing objects that shouldn’t be dumped in the sewage system, or having an excessive number of users, might overload the system.

Blockages

If the mound or the septic tank are clogged or obstructed, odours may result. Tree roots that have gotten into the system, grease or oil that has been poured down the drain, a buildup of sludge or scum in the septic tank, or any number of other things can result in blockages.

System malfunction

If the mound system is not working properly, odours may result. This could be the result of a problem with the pump or other system parts, or it could be brought on by an issue with the way the system was built or designed.

In order to ensure that a mound system is efficient and does not emit odours, it is crucial to maintain it properly. This may entail doing routine system checks and cleanings, getting rid of any created scum or sludge correctly, and according to all applicable laws and regulations.

It is crucial to have your mound system serviced and repaired as necessary if you notice scents coming from it in order to make sure it is operating properly.
