Fixing What Stops Working Underground

Septic system repairs in Greensboro for tanks, pumps, lines, and control components

When your septic system stops draining properly or alarms start sounding inside your Greensboro home, you need a repair crew that can identify what failed and what needs to be replaced. A&B Septic Services, Inc works on tanks that crack, pumps that quit running, and lines that back up because roots grew through them or soil shifted after heavy rain. We handle both minor fixes like replacing float switches and major corrections that involve digging up damaged distribution lines.

Our repair work covers everything from pump system troubleshooting to control panel replacement and drainfield component repairs. If you have an alarm panel flashing in your garage or water pooling in your yard near the tank, we trace the fault back to its source and fix the part that stopped working. We also offer emergency repair services after hours and on weekends when a system failure cannot wait until Monday. Our recommendations focus on practical solutions that address the actual problem without adding unnecessary work.

If something in your septic system is not functioning the way it should, reach out to A&B Septic Services, Inc in Greensboro to schedule a repair assessment.

What Happens During a System Repair Visit

When we arrive at your Greensboro property, we start by listening to what you noticed, whether that is slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or an alarm that will not turn off. We open the tank lid to check water levels, inspect pump operation, and test electrical connections at the control panel. If the pump is not turning on, we verify that power is reaching the unit and check whether the float mechanism is stuck or broken.

After the repair is finished, your drains will empty normally again, the alarm will stop sounding, and water will move through the system without backing up into the house. If we replaced a pump, you will hear it cycle on and off as it should. If we cleared a blocked line, wastewater will flow into the drainfield without surfacing in the yard.

We carry common replacement parts on our trucks so most repairs can be completed the same day. Some jobs require excavation to reach buried components or replacement of sections of pipe that have collapsed. We explain what caused the failure and what we recommend to prevent the same issue from happening again. Our work does not include permits for new system installations or additions that change the size of your drainfield.

Questions homeowners ask before calling for repairs

Most repair calls start with confusion about what went wrong and whether the entire system needs to be replaced. These questions cover what you can expect when you schedule a service visit with A&B Septic Services, Inc.

How do you figure out what part of the system failed?
We inspect the tank, pump, floats, control panel, and outlet lines in sequence to locate where the failure occurred. Most problems show up clearly once we open the access lid and test each component.
What kinds of repairs can you do the same day?
We can replace pumps, floats, control panels, and outlet baffles during a single visit if we have the part on the truck. Repairs that involve excavation or custom fabrication may require a follow-up appointment.
When should I call for a repair instead of waiting?
You should call as soon as you notice slow drains, hear an alarm, smell sewage near the tank, or see water pooling in the yard. Waiting can turn a small repair into a larger system failure.
What happens if the pump stops working at night?
We offer emergency repair services after hours and on weekends so you do not have to wait until the next business day. You can reach us by phone and we will respond based on the severity of the situation.
Why do septic pumps fail in the first place?
Pumps fail when they run constantly due to a stuck float, when debris clogs the impeller, or when electrical components wear out after years of use. Regular inspections help catch these issues before the pump stops working entirely.

If your septic system is not working the way it used to or you are dealing with an alarm that will not reset, call A&B Septic Services, Inc in Greensboro to schedule a repair visit and get your system back to normal operation.
