Upfront Septic visited a property in Woodinville, WA, to inspect the septic system after identifying concerns with its operation. Upon arrival, our technicians found that the high-level alarm was sounding, indicating that the system needed attention. The inspection also revealed that the system's timer settings had been modified and that the alarm float had become detached from the float tree.
During the inspection, our team determined that both the septic tank and pump tank needed to be pumped. The detached alarm float and modified timer settings will also need to be addressed to help the system operate and alert the homeowner to high wastewater levels as intended.
Additional work is recommended to address these findings and improve access for future maintenance. The planned follow-up includes pumping both tanks, reattaching the alarm float to the float tree, adjusting the timer settings, and installing three 24-inch risers. Digging will be required to complete the riser installation.
By identifying these issues during the inspection, Upfront Septic provided the homeowner with a clear plan for the next steps needed to maintain the septic system and address the active high-level alarm.
