Regular service pumping of septic tanks in NYA, MN

2026-07-19 · Norwood Young America, Carver County, MN · Septic Tank Pumping

Problem

The homeowner scheduled routine preventative maintenance for their septic system, which includes two 1,000-gallon septic tanks and a 1,000-gallon pump tank serving the drainfield. During the maintenance visit, the homeowner had not reported any active sewage backup or system failure, but a complete inspection was performed while the tanks were being pumped to verify that all system components were operating properly.

Solution

Minnesota Sewer Pros pumped and cleaned both 1,000-gallon septic tanks and the 1,000-gallon pump tank as part of the scheduled maintenance service. During our inspection, we discovered that the septic alarm float in the pump tank had failed and was no longer operating correctly. A properly functioning alarm float is critical because it alerts the homeowner to high water levels before they can develop into a costly sewage backup or pump failure. We replaced the defective alarm float, tested the alarm system to verify proper operation, and completed the maintenance service. With the new float installed and all tanks pumped, the septic system was returned to normal operating condition.
