What’s Setting Off Your Septic Alarm?

 

• The alarm itself can malfunction. 
• The float that activates the alarm could be bad. 
• The line between the pump and the field could be broken. Your septic company can check the line for you and replace it if needed.
• The drain field can no longer accept the water the pump is putting out. This generally requires a new drain field.

What to Do if Your Septic Alarm Goes Off

When your septic system is installed, you may have an alarm to warn you when something goes haywire. Once the alarm sounds, you should have 2 to 3 days before things start backing up in your house. You can mute the sound with many systems, there is often a light that will continue to flash. The danger of an imminent sewage backup is still very real, despite a silenced alarm.
