🚨 Septic alarm going off? It doesn’t necessarily mean your entire system has failed.
On this Mooresville service call, the system wasn’t pumping down properly. We tested the control panel, floats, electrical connections, and pump operation to find the actual problem.
The culprit: a mechanically failed effluent pump.
For anyone new to septic systems, this pump helps move wastewater from the pump tank to the next stage of the system. When it stops working properly, the liquid level can rise and trigger an alarm.
We replaced the failed pump and waterproof connections, cleaned the pressure filter, cleared the lines, checked the central valve box, and tested the system before leaving.
The important takeaway: a septic alarm is a warning—not a diagnosis.
