How We Repair Your Septic Aerator
Sump, well, booster and sewage ejector pumps and septic aerators keep water moving, and most failures happen when you need them most.
Common Septic Aerator Problems We Fix
Alarm sounding
High water level, a failed pump or float.
Pump will not run
A stuck float switch, a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor or a burned-out motor.
Runs constantly
A stuck float, a failed check valve letting water flow back, or a leak in the system.
Short cycling (well pumps)
A waterlogged pressure tank or a bad pressure switch.
Loud noise or vibration
Worn bearings, debris in the impeller or a broken check valve.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Check the breaker and GFCI outlet
- Make sure the float moves freely

Should I repair or replace my septic aerator?
A septic aerator typically lasts about 7 to 15 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
