Residential septic pump systems that keep things moving.
Residential septic pumps, alarms and repairs
A dependable pump system for your home.
Some residential septic systems need a pump to move liquid when gravity flow is not possible. Santech provides residential septic pump installation, troubleshooting and replacement for homeowners in Batesburg-Leesville and surrounding South Carolina communities.
Call when you notice
- A high-water alarm is sounding
- The pump runs continuously or will not start
- Drains are slow throughout the home
- The tank or pump chamber remains unusually full
- Sewage is backing up into the home
- There are wet areas or odors near the system
Do not ignore an alarm.
A pump alarm can indicate a high liquid level, failed pump, damaged float, blocked discharge line or electrical problem. Reduce water use and call before the system begins backing up.

Listen to the symptoms
We ask what the alarm is doing, whether the pump is running and when the problem started.
Check the accessible components
Accessible pumps, floats, controls, piping and liquid levels are observed to help identify the likely cause.
Explain the options
We explain what was observed and whether cleaning, adjustment, replacement or additional specialized work may be needed.
Complete the approved work
Approved pump-system work is completed carefully, tested when possible and left in an orderly condition.
Important: Avoid entering a pump chamber or septic tank. These enclosed spaces may contain hazardous gases and should only be accessed by properly trained professionals.
Common questions
What should I do when the septic alarm comes on?
Reduce water use inside the home and call for service. Avoid running the washing machine, dishwasher or taking long showers until the system is checked. Do not silence the alarm and continue using water normally without investigating the cause.
Why does my septic system need a pump?
A pump may be required when the drain field, treatment area or discharge point is higher than the tank, or when the system design cannot rely entirely on gravity.
Can you replace a failed residential septic pump?
Santech can evaluate accessible components and determine whether the pump or another part of the system appears to be causing the problem. We will explain the recommended work before proceeding.
Do you repair electrical panels and wiring?
We can observe accessible pump-system components and help identify the likely problem. Work involving electrical wiring, breakers or control panels may need to be completed by a qualified electrician.
