Septic system repair in Granite Falls
Our client from Granite Falls had a septic tank overflow—it hadn’t been pumped in 12 years. The next day, we arrived at 8 AM and got to work. The septic system had two compartments: one for liquid waste and one for solids. After just one visit, the client was able to use their septic system again.
Maintenance of the drainage field
A client contacted us with concerns about their drain field, reporting that the system wasn’t working properly and there was a bad smell. We quickly arrived at the site and found three main issues: the pipes were clogged with sludge, a biomat had formed and was blocking proper drainage, and the soil was partially saturated with wastewater. Our team acted fast, cleaned out the pipes, removed the biomat, and got the drain field back to working perfectly. The client was very happy with our quick response and professional service
Troubleshooting of a two-compartment septic tank
Overview
When a homeowner experiences a septic failure, the immediate concern is simple: Can I keep living in my house? But the right solution goes far beyond fixing what’s broken. This project reflects our commitment to guiding clients from urgent, stressful failures to stable, future-ready systems—while being supported every step of the way.
This homeowner reached out with an active septic backup. What began as a service call evolved into a full-system replacement, with our team providing both short-term relief and a long-term plan shaped by our experience as maintenance and monitoring professionals. Every improvement was made with the next ten years in mind—not just the next inspection.
Observations
Upon arrival, we found that the drainfield was no longer accepting effluent. Further inspection revealed that the current system was operating on only one branch of what had originally been a three-branch drainfield. At some point, the septic tank had been relocated and tied into just the final branch, significantly reducing the total drainfield area and ultimately leading to failure.
Work Completed
Rather than leaving the homeowner in limbo while permits and designs were finalized, we provided complimentary interim pumpings and guidance on restricted water use so they could remain comfortably in their home. Meanwhile, we worked with the designer to develop a system that accounted for historical changes and ensured appropriate drainfield sizing.
When installation began, we included several enhancements based on known failure points and long-term service experience:
• Plastic tanks were installed and anchored to prevent shifting due to high water tables.
• Protective mesh was placed beneath the new drainfield to prevent rodent intrusion into the drainfield cavity.
• Monitoring ports and cleanouts were added in key locations to make future maintenance more efficient.
• Camera/scope-friendly fittings were installed to streamline future troubleshooting and inspections.
These improvements weren’t just technical upgrades—they were field-informed decisions from a team that not only installs systems, but services them. Our approach is guided by what will make the system easier to care for and more reliable for the homeowner and any future technician down the line.
Concluding Recommendations and Suggestions
The homeowner now has a reliable system in place, designed for longevity and ease of care. We recommend routine maintenance and inspections to keep the system operating at peak performance and protect the investment for years to come.

Common Signs of Pump Malfunction
If your septic pump starts acting up, problems can pile up fast. Watch for these warning signs:
A failing pump can’t move wastewater to the drain field. Result? Backups, contamination, and fines. Don’t wait call us at the first alarm beep.
- Standing water in the tank or pooling in your yard
- Alarm going off or the control panel flashing red
- Strong sewage smells around the tank or drain field
- Power bills suddenly higher than usual
- Sinks or toilets draining slowly
- Circuit breakers tripping often
- Grass over the drain field growing faster and taller than the rest
- Pump running non-stop without shutting off

Common Signs of Control Panel Malfunction
Think of your septic system’s control panel as the brain it tells the pump when to work, when to stop, and when there’s trouble. If it starts acting up, the whole system can go sideways. Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
A faulty panel can give bad readings, overwork your pump, or completely miss an actual emergency. That means you could end up with backups, standing water, or a pump that burns out way before its time.
If you notice any of these, don’t wait. Call (360) 386-2585 - we can reset, repair, or replace your panel the same day so your system stays safe and running smoothly.
- Blank screen – no lights, no display, no power.
- False alarms – beeping or flashing even when everything seems fine.
- Pump running non-stop – or not running at all.
- Burnt or smoky smell coming from the panel box.
- Breakers tripping more often than normal.

Why It’s Important to Maintain the Pump and Control Panel
We’ll quote upfront—no surprises. Financing? Yes! Septic tank installation cost stressing you? Let’s chat.
What to do if septic pump stops working?When a septic pump or control panel starts acting up, there’s no room for guesswork—call us and our experts will solve everything ASAP. We get hands-on and follow a method that actually works.
Test: We start by checking the essentials: is the panel getting the right voltage? Are the fuses still intact? And are the float switches doing their job, turning the system on and off when they should?
Inspect: Then we pull the pump from the tank for a closer look. This is where we often find the real trouble—wipes or sludge blocking the intake, wires that have burned or cracked, or seals that are wearing thin.
Diagnose: With the basics ruled out, we break out the trusty multimeter and dig into the panel itself. This helps us zero in on electrical hiccups, failing relays, or wiring that’s past its prime.
Fix:
Verify: Finally, we simulate different tank levels to make sure the pump and panel respond exactly as they should before we close everything up.
Expert your septic system control box repairto be wrapped up the same day. If parts are needed, we keep the most common pumps (Zoeller, Liberty, Goulds, Hydromatic, AY McCdonald) and panels (SJE Rhombus, E1, NuWater, AquaWorX, Oscar) in stock so you’re not left waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions and Our Answers
Sometimes the first clue is subtle—your shower drain starts acting lazy, or the toilet does a little swirl before finally going down. Other times it’s obvious: the alarm’s blaring, you pop the lid, and there’s way too much water in the tank. If the septic pump runs but doesn’t pump, that’s a dead giveaway something’s wrong—most often a clog in the impeller or a motor that’s cooked itself. We’ve seen pumps jammed up with everything from paper towels to a whole dish sponge (don’t ask). A quick voltage and amp draw check tells us if it’s worth saving or if it’s done for.
Short answer—please don’t. We’re talking about 230 volts in a damp, confined space. That’s not a YouTube-project kind of situation. One slip with a screwdriver and you’re either tripping breakers or ending up in the ER. Our crew handles this stuff daily, and we’ve got insulated tools, test meters, and the kind of training that keeps us on our feet and your system intact.
First thing, check your breaker panel and the GFCI outlet. If they’re fine but your control box is as lifeless as a brick, there’s probably fried circuitry inside. We’ve opened panels and found everything from ants nesting in the relays to wires so brittle they snap when touched. Replacing a septic control panel is usually quicker than people think—we’ve swapped them in under an hour when we’ve got the parts on hand.
Inspect pumps/panels yearly. Replace pumps every 8–10 years. We’ll text reminders when service is due!
Absolutely. When the system’s down, every hour counts. That’s why we keep an urgent septic system technician visit slot open every single day—nights, weekends, even Christmas morning. No extra fee, just straight-up fast service. Nine times out of ten, you’re flowing again the same day.
