Questions about septic repairs and pumping
My alarm is on. What should I do?
Check the breaker for the septic system first. If it has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again or wasn’t tripped, call us, and cut back on water use (laundry, the dishwasher, long showers) until we find the problem.
My sprinklers barely spray. What's wrong?
The sprinkler pump only runs when the pump tank fills, so weak spray while it’s running usually means a broken sprinkler line, clogged heads, or a pump that is running dry or wearing out.
Why does my yard smell?
A healthy aerobic system should have very little odor. A strong smell usually means the air pump has stopped, the disinfection unit is out of chlorine, or the tanks need pumping.
How often should the tanks be pumped?
We generally recommend every two to three years. Heavy water use, such as frequent guests, lots of laundry or more people in the house, can mean pumping more often.
