A septic alarm is your system asking for help. Stewart Septic Services finds out why it's sounding and fixes the problem behind it.
Septic systems with pump tanks, holding tanks and aerobic units usually have an alarm panel. When the alarm sounds or the light comes on, it most often means the water level in the tank has risen higher than it should — a warning that a backup may be coming.
Stewart Septic Services provides septic alarm troubleshooting and repair across Macon and Middle Georgia. We figure out why the alarm went off, fix the underlying problem and make sure the alarm itself is working correctly.
Because an alarm can mean trouble is close, we answer alarm calls 24/7.
The alarm is a symptom. Here's what's usually behind it.
The pump stopped working and water is rising.
A float is hung up and not turning the pump on.
Lots of water in a short time has temporarily overwhelmed the tank.
A tripped breaker, bad wiring or a faulty alarm panel.
Cut back on water right away. Hold off on laundry, dishes and long showers to keep the tank from rising further.
Check the breaker. If the pump's breaker has tripped, that may be the whole story — but if it trips again, there's a deeper problem that needs attention.
Call us. Most alarm panels have a silence button, but silencing the alarm doesn't fix the problem. We'll find the cause and get your system working right.
