Signs Your Aerobic Septic System Needs Maintenance

For anyone with an aerobic septic system on their property, the sound of a wailing alarm is a noise that is probably all too familiar. While this alarm doesn't always mean that you’re experiencing an emergency situation, it often is an indication that one of the many features of the system is in need of some maintenance. Some of the common signs that warrant the need of aerobic septic system maintenance:

  • No power – If you’re experiencing this issue, make sure no one has turned off the power switch to your system or that the breaker is not tripped. If you are unable to resolve the issue, our team can perform maintenance and any necessary repairs.

  • Submersible pump not working– While this may mean that a new pump may be needed, sometimes the pump is temporarily inoperable due to a bad float, faulty wiring, or a damaged part. In these cases, it’s best to call in a specialist to conduct maintenance.

  • Low air pressure – If your system is not getting an adequate amount of air and the air pressure is low, it could mean that the aerator is in need of maintenance. The system will need to restore proper oxygen intake to break down your waste and ensure proper function.

  • Inaccurate timer or photocell – The timer and photocell work together to hold the water in the pump tank until it allows it to be released. If one or both aren’t working properly, it can prevent the system from releasing water, creating the risk of an overflow

  • Malfunctioning spray heads – Spray heads in the septic system can stop rotating or stop popping down after spraying. Fortunately, this is an issue that can typically be resolved through a quick maintenance call.
