Aerobic System Service & Repair in Canton & Madison, MS
Aerobic treatment units are common across central Mississippi, especially on lots where the soil will not absorb a conventional drain field well. They use an air pump to treat wastewater and usually discharge through spray heads or a drip line.
Typical calls: a red alarm light or buzzer, an air pump that has stopped humming, spray heads that will not pop up, a sewage smell around the sprayers, or a system that needs its chlorine tablets refilled.
If your alarm is going off
- Cut back on water use: hold laundry and dishwasher loads
- Check that the breaker for the system has not tripped
- Do not open the tank yourself
- Call and describe what the panel shows
Questions about aerobic system service & repair
Why is my aerobic septic alarm going off?
Common causes are a failed air pump, a tripped breaker, a high water level or a pump problem. A provider can diagnose it on site.
Does an aerobic system need a maintenance contract?
Many owners keep one so the system is checked regularly. Ask the provider what your system and county require.
