Septic Pump Repair in Chattanooga & North Georgia
Keep Your Septic System Pumping
Not every septic system works on gravity alone. Homes that sit below their drain field, and some system types common on hilly or rocky lots, rely on a pump to move wastewater uphill or under pressure. When that pump, its float switches or its controls fail, the chamber fills and the alarm sounds.
Metro diagnoses septic pump problems, from tripped breakers and stuck floats to failed control panels and worn-out pumps. Many issues can be repaired without replacing the pump; when a pump has reached the end of its life, we replace it with a correctly sized model.
When your alarm is going off, limit water use and call us. Our team is available 24/7, and you'll always get an upfront price before work begins.

If you don't hear the pump cycle when it should, it may have failed.
Pump Runs Constantly
A pump that runs nonstop can have a stuck float or a leak in the system.
Breaker Keeps Tripping

Backups or Slow Drains
Slow drains or backups can mean the pump isn't moving wastewater.

What Affects the Cost of Septic Pump Repair?
Septic pump repair cost depends on what's failed: a float switch, alarm, control panel or the pump itself. Pump type, such as effluent or grinder, pump size, depth and access to the pump chamber also matter.
We diagnose the problem, explain whether a repair or replacement is better value and give you an upfront price before any work begins.
You always get the price before any work begins. Financing is available for qualified customers on larger jobs.
Expert Tip From Metro's Master-Certified Team
What to Do When the Alarm Sounds
When your septic alarm sounds, most systems have reserve capacity of a day or so. Silence the alarm, cut water use to the bare minimum and check that the pump breaker hasn't tripped. Then call us; don't wait for the reserve to run out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is happy to help, day or night.
(423) 855-0967Why is my septic alarm going off?
An alarm usually means the water level in the pump chamber is too high, often because the pump, float switch or controls have failed. Limit water use and call us.
Why does my system have a pump?
Some homes and properties sit below the drain field or use systems that need wastewater pumped uphill or under pressure. A pump moves it where it needs to go.
How long does a septic pump last?
Many septic pumps last several years, depending on use, pump quality and maintenance.
Do you repair floats and alarms?
Yes. Floats, alarms and control panels are common points of failure and can often be repaired without replacing the pump.
What's the difference between pump types?
Effluent pumps move liquid from the tank; grinder pumps grind solids before pumping. We'll identify what you have and service it.
Do you offer emergency pump repair?
Yes. A failed pump can lead to backups quickly. Call (423) 855-0967 any time.
