How Often Do You Need to Pump your Septic Tank?

Posted on June 22, 2015 by - septic

For most families, Septic Medic recommends that you have your septic tank pumped once every 3-5 years. If there is more water used at your home than in a typical household, you will need to have your septic pumped more frequently. Waiting too long clean out your septic system can cause damage and result in costly repairs and, in some cases, replacement of major components. Pumping your septic system yourself is not something you should do on your own – professional septic companies know how to pump the tank safely and can inspect the leach field for pollutants and other concerns.

Protect your family’s health by maintaining a quality water supply and keep your septic system functioning properly so it lasts many years. Learn more about our septic pumping and clean out services and contact Septic Medic online.

Your Septic Alarm is Going Off! What to Do

Posted on May 15, 2015 by - septic

Many septic systems have an alarm on them. If your septic tank alarm goes off, do you know what to do to identify if there is a septic system problem? As a homeowner, you may have noticed some of the warning signs that your septic system was failing, but if your septic alarm is going off it is important to contact a septic system repair and replacement company. Septic Medic can come to your home and diagnose the problem with your septic system. We will get your alarm turned off, let you know if the septic tank needs any repairs, and work quickly to get your septic system back in working order. Contact our professional septic technicians.

Why Is Your Septic Alarm Going Off?

Your septic system alarm will go off when the water level in your septic tank is too high or too low. When the wastewater layers of your septic tank are not balanced properly your system will not operate efficiently.

What Causes a Septic Alarm to Go Off?

  1. There are a number of reasons why you may experience a high-water event or lose water  and cause your septic alarm to go off.
    1. Faulty Septic System Components – When your septic tank is not able to remove excess water or process your disposed waste the water level will rise. Leaks in your septic tank can cause ground water to enter the tank and clogged pipes can disrupt the levels of water in your septic tank. It is recommended to have your septic system inspected by a professional to assess if you need to  repair or replace a variety of septic system components.
    2. Heavy Rain – Your septic tank can overflow during heavy rain if groundwater enters your septic system
    3. Overuse of the Septic System – Your septic alarm may go off if you are using more water than you normally do.
