(Newswire.net — May 23, 2014) Durham, NC — Septic Tank Alarms are a great warning and early warning system that should be or needs to be on all septic tanks. If the house is using city water and sewer than it does not have a septic tank so this should not be an issue. However if there is a septic tank and the alarm is going off but there are no noticeable problems that what is the cause?
There are several things that could be happening when an alarm is going off but they may not always be visible or immediately noticeable but they are definitely serious. Any issues with a septic tank need to be address immediately before a larger problem blossoms.
The alarm could be going off because water is leaking into or out of the tank. The alarm may go off intermittently when it rains heavily and if this is the case then there may be a leak going into the tank.
Additionally there may be a broken pipe near the septic tank that is causing the overflowing water as well. Either way it needs to be checked out.
JD Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning says “a septic tank alarm that is going off can be an early warning sign and help prevent a major repair. Always get this checked out as soon as possible waiting can just cause water the alarm to go off to get worse and then it gets expensive.” John Dietz, Owner.
Always take any alarm that goes off in the house as serious and never take it lightly just because it is out of sight. As always check on any alarms regularly to ensure they are working properly and that there are no problems. The only thing worse than a septic tank alarm going off is one that doesn’t because it should have.
