Warning Signs for Aerobic Septic System Maintenance

When you notice the absence of power in your septic system, it is important to rule out the obvious reasons, such as being turned off. Once you have confirmed that the power switch is not turned off and the breaker is not tripped, this indicates that there's an electrical issue with your system. Our team can help you in solving the problem by conducting maintenance and other necessary repairs.

Malfunctioning Submersible Pump

Most of the time, septic tanks with this problem require a new pump to be installed. However, this is not always the case since something small like a bad float can lead to an inoperable pump. Aside from a bad float, some common reasons why submersible pumps stop working include damaged parts and faulty wiring. When this happens, it is advisable to consult the experts for maintenance so that your system can function properly.

Low Air Pressure

When there is insufficient air or the air pressure drastically reduces, this indicates that your system's aerator needs maintenance. We can help you restore proper oxygen intake in your system so that there's proper air circulation within the system for breaking down waste and enhancing the septic system's efficiency.

Inaccurate Timer or Photocell

The timer and photocell work hand-in-hand to ensure that the water is held in the pump tank until the appropriate time to be released. When either of these parts is not functioning as expected, it results in prevention or delayed release of water, which can cause an overflow. Regular maintenance of your aerobic system is recommended to mitigate such issues and enhance the efficiency and health of your septic system.
