Common Pump Failures For Sewers


In order to keep the septic system working at your home or a business, there needs to be sewage pumps. There could be one or two pumps or several depending on the size of the system. There are some common problems that can arise with the pumps. These issues can be easily resolved by calling a septic company, or you can try to fix the problem on your own by using a few tools. 

One of the most common problems that is discovered is a backup in the tank. This happens when the pumps can't work like they should. There is likely too much toilet paper in the system that the pumps can't get through.
