When a septic pump or float fails, wastewater stops moving and the alarm starts sounding. We find out why and get your system pumping again.
Many septic systems in Middle Georgia rely on a pump to move wastewater uphill to a drain field, to dose an alternative system or to lift it to a sewer connection. Float switches tell that pump when to turn on and off, and an alarm float warns you when the water gets too high.
When any of those parts fail, the system can back up quickly. Stewart Septic Services provides septic pump and float repair for homes and businesses across Macon and Middle Georgia, from simple float fixes to full pump replacement.
We troubleshoot first. A lot of pump calls turn out to be a float hung up on debris or a tripped breaker, and we'll never replace a pump that doesn't need it.
Most pump problems come down to a handful of causes.
Debris or buildup keeps a float from moving freely.
Tripped breakers, bad connections or control panel problems.
Pumps eventually wear out, especially when working against buildup.
Solids and grease build up and choke the pump.
A pump that stops working means wastewater has nowhere to go. Depending on how much water your home uses, that can turn into a backup in a matter of hours or days.
When you call, we'll check the floats, the pump, the controls and the tank itself to find the real problem. If a float is the issue, we'll fix the float. If the pump has failed, we'll replace it and make sure everything is working before we leave.
Some pump repairs involve electrical work. When that's needed, we coordinate with an electrician so the job gets done right.
