A septic alarm is an important part of a septic system that alerts homeowners when their septic tank is experiencing issues. If the alarm goes off, it’s a sign that your system needs attention before a bigger problem comes up.

What Causes a Septic Alarm to Go Off?

• High Water Levels: When septage rises too high, the alarm signals a potential overflow.
• Pump Issues: If the pump isn’t working properly, the septic tank won’t empty as it should.
• Clogged or Blocked Pipes: A blockage in the system can prevent proper drainage.
• Electrical Issues: Power outages or wiring problems can trigger false alarms.

What to Do When Your Septic Alarm Goes Off

• Don’t Panic – It may be a minor issue.
• Check the Breaker – Ensure the system has power.
• Limit Water Usage – Reduce water usage to avoid overflow.
