A septic alarm is a signal that something needs attention. It may trigger due to high water in a pump chamber, a pump or electrical problem, a clogged component, or unusually heavy water use.
The first thing you should do if your alarm sounds is limit water use. Then, call a professional like State Line Septic for help. Avoid opening or entering a tank or chamber yourself as septic tanks can contain dangerous gases and are never safe to enter!
💡Do not ignore an alarm that seems to stop on its own; the condition that caused it may recur.
