The Problem May Require More Than One Professional
A backup into your house could mean a septic system problem, but it could also mean a plumbing problem. Not all plumbers work on septic systems, and not all septic companies work on plumbing, so you may have to call more than one professional to find and fix the problem.
There are a few things you can do to see if a backup is caused by your plumbing or septic tank, but there’s no way of knowing for certain which service you’ll need until you schedule an appointment with a professional.
Septic Alarm: Don’t Panic, But Don’t Delay
Some septic systems and all aerobic systems have an alarm that activates when there is a problem. Don’t panic if your system alarm activates, but don’t delay calling either. Ignoring an alarm can lead to more problems and can lead to an emergency over time.
Here’s a short video guide to septic system alarms and what to do if yours activates.
