The clear solution is to excavate the septic tank, remove the lids, and check the water level. If the water is 8-10 inches below the lid with significant solid buildup, the tank needs pumping. If the water level is flush with the top of the lid, water isn’t flowing into the drain lines, indicating a potential blockage in the fill line, possibly due to roots or sludge.

You need to confirm if it is power issue, pump issue, or float switch issue. First check the GFCI outlet or circuit breaker to determine if the issue is with the pump or the float switch. For assistance, contact us.

Troubleshooting septic system fill lines can involve one of three issues: a blockage in the header line, crossover line, or spillover line, or a complete system failure. Diagnosing these is challenging since the lines are buried underground.
