Like everything else, alarms can stop working and need to be replaced. Getting your alarm checked is an essential part of the regular septic maintenance. When you need a septic alarm replacement, call the septic professionals. Dinsmore Septic Services has experience with different types of septic systems. We know what the right alarm replacement for you is. 

There are several different types of alarms you can get as your alarm replacement. One of the most popular alarm systems is called the pedestal alarm. This type of alarm comes with a pedestal post that gets buried in the ground. It is equipped with a float switch that runs from the pump tank to the alarm box. When the water levels get too high, it will trigger the float switch and set off an alarm buzzer and light. 

Another type of alarm replacement is one that is installed indoors. They can be placed in your garage, garden, shed or home. The difference between this alarm and the pedestal alarm is that it is not outfitted with a weatherproof box. It has the same functions as a float switch and monitors the tank water levels. When they get too high, set off an alarm that buzzes and lights up. 

An alarm in your pump tank is one of the best ways to maintain your septic tank. It will keep you alerted when the fluid levels get too high. It will help you prevent a septic emergency such as sewage backing up in the pipes. 

Having a riser and lid added to your septic tank will save you money. If your septic tanks are buried below the ground, we will locate and dig it to get to the opening. It will enable us to inspect it or pump it out, it will end up costing you more money in location and accessing fees. Having a riser and lid as part of your septic tank is the best way to make your septic tank easy to reach.

Septic pumps work hard to move wastewater to your drain field. Typically, pump installation is in the pump tank located near the septic tank. The wastewater moves from your home to the septic tank, then the water moves to the pump tank and the septic pump pumps the wastewater to the drain field. 
 
When your septic pump malfunctions, wastewater can back up into your house. That’s why it is essential to maintain the pump so it can last for years to come.

In some cases, your septic tanks are at a lower grade than what your acceptable drainage field site is located.  When this happens, a standard gravity-based septic system cannot work. Septic pumps are used to carry the waste water to the drainage field.

A failed septic pump could be a septic emergency. When your leach field is higher than the inlet pipe, sewage backup can happen. While there is a check valve that can prevent this from happening, your tank will eventually reach its capacity. 
 
In general, septic pumps last about 10-15 years. This number may change depending on how hard the pump has to work.

When you need a septic service, and you do not know the location of the tank, we can help. Below are some ways in which it can be done. 

1. Obtain the septic system diagram.

Call your local health department or the company that installed the system, they may still have copies of plans for your septic system. The diagram can tell you the location of the tank, as well as the lids. However, if your septic system was installed before permits were needed, this option won’t work. 

2. Look for some signs.

The previous homeowner may have marked the location of the tank. It could be a small flag or some lawn ornament. 

3. Locate the septic tank first.

If you want to locate your septic tank, you must follow the main sewer line. The sewer line can pinpoint and find the exact location of your septic tank. Generally, the septic tank is the first part of the septic system. It can be found between 10 to 20 feet of the home.

Hydro jetting is a kind of cleaning using water that flows through a long, thin, flexible hose. The thin hose is fed into the drains and blasts out water under very high pressure. The nozzle emits water at all 360 degrees, making sure that every portion of the drainpipe is covered. 

The pressure of the water that flows through the hose is powerful enough to force debris away from the pipe without causing any damage and move it into the sewer or septic tank. This type of high-pressure jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear your pipes of obstructions like tree roots and sludge that often clings to the lining of your drain pipes.
