Septic System Repair
Diagnosing and fixing pump failures, tripped breakers, and full system breakdowns.

A septic system has moving parts that wear out and underground components that can crack, clog, or shift over time. When a pump trips its breaker, an alarm goes off, or sewage backs up into the house, the system needs diagnosis and repair. Reynolds Pumping troubleshoots and fixes residential septic systems across Mississippi and Louisiana.
Pump failures are the most common repair call. The pump moves effluent from the tank to the drain field, and when it fails, the tank fills and sewage has nowhere to go. Tripped breakers, failed float switches, and burned-out pump motors are all repairable in the field. Other common issues include cracked or collapsed baffles, broken risers, and root intrusion into the tank or distribution lines.
Chase starts by inspecting the electrical panel and the alarm, then opens the tank to check water levels, baffle condition, and pump operation. Most problems are identifiable from what the system looks like when the lid comes off: a full tank with a dead pump, a baffle that has fallen into the tank, or an outlet pipe blocked by roots. The diagnosis determines whether the fix is a part replacement, a line clearing, or a more involved repair.
A sewage backup or a pump alarm going off at 2 in the morning is not something that can wait until Monday. Reynolds Pumping operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Chase answers the phone himself and can typically get to a local emergency within a few hours.
Some systems are old enough or damaged enough that repair is no longer practical. A failing drain field, a tank with structural damage, or a system that was undersized from the start may need replacement rather than another patch. Chase can assess whether repair makes sense or whether it is time to plan for a new system, and he is straightforward about the difference.
