Fixing the moving parts of spray-head aerobic systems

How do you know an aerobic system needs repair?

Start at the control panel. An alarm there is the state-required warning that the pump tank has passed half full. Then listen near the tanks for the air pump. Oklahoma State University (OSU) Extension says you should hear it running, forcing air into the aeration tank.

OSU says a rotten egg smell can mean the system is not working properly. Cloudy water in the pump tank is a sign too, because state rules expect that water to run clear. Sewage backing up into the house calls for our emergency septic service.

In the yard, watch the spray heads. A head that sticks or mists needs a look, and so does soggy ground where the heads throw water. State rules time the spray for between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Daylight spraying, day after day, points to the timer, a float or heavy water use.

Septic aerator and aerobic septic pump replacement

An aerobic system has more moving parts than a conventional tank, and they wear out. The air pump, or septic aerator, pushes air through diffusers in the aeration tank. When the pump fails or a diffuser wears out, the bacteria lose the air they need.

In the pump tank, a stuck float or a worn spray pump lets the water rise until the alarm sounds. The state's homeowner guide says a professional should replace a failed pump with one of the proper size. The disinfection unit treats the water before it sprays. With chlorine, state rules want 0.2 milligrams per liter kept in the pump tank.

Lids and risers wear out too. State rules call for every serviceable part to be reachable within 24 inches of the ground. The crew tracks down the cause on site and sets the new part where the old one sat. The rules count that as a repair, inspected and approved before the hole is backfilled.

Aerobic septic repair or a new unit around Sapulpa

Sometimes the aerobic unit itself is past saving, and the job stops being a repair. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) treats a replacement aerobic treatment unit as a new installation. That holds even when the old septic tank stays in place. A new installation needs a DEQ Authorization to Construct and an inspection before the system runs.

Check the install date before you call anyone. For two years after a new aerobic system goes in, state rules make its installer maintain it. That upkeep covers broken parts, so a system inside that window goes back to its installer first. Damage caused only by the owner is left out, such as heads broken by careless use.

After the two years, upkeep is the owner's job, done alone or by a hired company. We take on that work for any aerobic system with spray heads. Bought a newer home around Broken Arrow, Owasso or Collinsville? Ask the seller who installed the system and when it went in.

FAQ

Aerobic Repair Questions, Answered

Common questions about aerobic repair around Sapulpa and the Tulsa area. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (918) 645-0557

Why is my aerobic septic air pump not running?
Rule out power first: the DEQ's homeowner guide lists checking the breaker and plugs for a pump problem. If the power is on and the pump is still quiet, the pump itself may have failed. Call or text (918) 645-0557, and we test the pump and replace it if it is worn out.
What makes aerobic sprinkler heads stick or mist?
A head that stays down may be worn or broken, or the spray pump may not be pushing enough water. OSU Extension names faulty spray heads as a common problem on spray systems. Misting and high spray both break state rules, which call for a low stream at 15 degrees or less. We replace worn heads and test the spray pump.
Why does my aerobic system keep needing repairs?
The EPA says systems with float switches, pumps or other mechanical parts need inspection more often, generally once a year. Heavy water use and harmful items down the drain can damage an aerobic system too, the state's rules note. Regular aerobic septic system maintenance checks those parts on a schedule.
What can I check before calling for aerobic septic repair?
Note what you see and hear: an alarm, a quiet air pump, a stuck spray head or a soggy patch. Mention any recent trip, since OSU notes a dozen loads of laundry after one can wash out the bacteria. The tanks hold sewage and the parts run on household power, so leave the lids closed. OSU Extension's advice is plain: do not try to repair the system yourself.
How much does aerobic septic system repair cost?
The price turns on which part failed and how hard it is to reach. Swapping a timer or a spray head is a smaller job than pulling a pump from a tank. A failed unit costs more, since replacing it counts as a new installation with state paperwork. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
