VALLEY SEPTIC & PLUMBING: EXPERT SEPTIC TECHNICIANS
WHAT ARE SEPTIC ALARMS?
Septic alarms are important features in certain septic systems. They alert you if there’s a problem, like water levels getting too high in the tank. This early warning can help stop bigger issues, like system overflows, by letting you know it’s time to check things out. Whether it’s from using too much water or something blocking the system, these alarms help keep everything running smoothly. At Valley Septic and Plumbing, we’re here to help whenever your septic alarm goes off, making sure your system stays in good shape.
WE CAN HELP TAKE CARE OF ANY SEPTIC ISSUES
Septic alarms help figure out what’s wrong with your septic system by warning you when something’s not right, like when the water level gets too high in the pump area. This could mean a few things, such as the pump not working, a blockage somewhere, or too much water being used.
When the alarm goes off, it’s a sign for professionals at Valley Septic and Plumbing to investigate. By assessing the alarm’s trigger, our experts can pinpoint the underlying issue. For example, if the alarm is activated due to high water levels, it might suggest a pump isn’t working correctly or there’s a blockage. On the other hand, if the alarm sounds and the water level is normal, it could be an electrical issue or a false alarm.
This diagnostic capability allows Valley Septic and Plumbing to quickly identify and address the specific problem, whether it requires repairing or replacing components, clearing blockages, or adjusting the system’s usage. The alarm system thus ensures a targeted and efficient response, reducing the risk of system failure or significant damage.
THE NAME YOU TRUST FOR SEPTIC SERVICES
WHY IS YOUR SEPTIC ALARM GOING OFF?
HIGH WATER LEVEL:
The alarm may go off when the water inside the septic tank reaches a higher level than it's supposed to. This could happen for various reasons, like a lot of rainwater getting into the system, using too much water in your home over a short period, or if there's an issue with the drainfield that stops it from soaking up water properly. When the water level gets too high, it's a sign that the system can't handle the amount of water coming in, which can lead to backups and other serious issues if not addressed.
PUMP FAILURE:
A critical component of some septic systems is the pump, which helps move wastewater from the tank to the drainfield for treatment. If this pump stops working correctly, either due to mechanical failure, wear and tear, or power issues, the alarm will sound to alert you of this malfunction. Without the pump doing its job, wastewater can't move through the system as intended, causing water levels in the tank to rise and potentially leading to system backups and the risk of untreated sewage surfacing.
PIPE BLOCKAGE
Sometimes, the pipes leading to or from your septic tank can get blocked. This can be due to things like flushing inappropriate items down the toilet, buildup of solids that haven't been broken down properly, or even tree roots growing into and obstructing the pipes. When these blockages occur, the flow of wastewater is restricted, which can cause the tank to fill up faster than normal and trigger the alarm. Clearing these blockages is essential to restore proper function to your septic system.
ELECTRICAL ISSUE
Septic alarms are part of an electrical system that monitors water levels and operates the pump. If there's an electrical issue, like a circuit breaker that's tripped or wiring problems with the pump, the alarm might go off to warn you of these electrical faults. It's a sign that the system isn't operating as it should, not because of a septic issue directly, but because the electrical components that control and monitor the system aren't functioning correctly. This requires prompt attention to prevent potential septic system failures due to these electrical issues.
