Upfront Septic visited a property in Gig Harbor, WA, to pump and service the property's septic system. Upon arrival, our technicians excavated the two-compartment septic tank and pump tank to access the lids, which had risers located approximately six inches below grade.
Our team pumped out both tanks and cleaned the effluent filter as part of the service. The first-compartment septic tank lid was also replaced. During the visit, our technicians checked the system's alarm but were unable to locate the tank alert, which may have been behind stored items in the garage. When the alarm float was raised, no audible alarm was heard, so the alarm system requires further investigation.
The pump tank lid was also found to be missing a gasket. Additional work is planned to return to the property and replace the 24-inch lid. The alarm system should also be located and checked to help ensure the homeowner receives an alert if the wastewater level rises too high.
Through pumping, filter cleaning, and lid replacement, Upfront Septic addressed key maintenance needs while identifying follow-up items to help keep the system accessible and functioning properly.
