When this homeowner in Vashon noticed their septic system wasn’t working properly, the problem turned out to be a flooded septic tank with standing wastewater and a malfunctioning float assembly.

Our crew opened the tank, inspected the components, and found the pump chamber holding excess water with damaged electrical controls that were no longer operating as they should. We safely pumped down the flooded tank, cleared out the wastewater, and removed the excess water so the system could be properly evaluated and returned to normal operation.

With the tank emptied, the homeowner now has a clean, accessible system ready for any necessary repairs or maintenance, helping prevent backups and keeping the septic system functioning the way it should.

Another septic problem solved for a Vashon homeowner before it had the chance to become an even bigger headache.
