Note: The audible alarm will stop, but the visual alarm will stay on if conditions persist.
Stop All Water Use: Refrain from using any water for at least 15 minutes.
Check the Alarm: If the alarm is still active after 15 minutes, call us immediately for 24/7 service.

WHILE WAITING FOR SERVICE:
To prevent potential sewage backups, minimize water use:
Flush toilets only when necessary.
Avoid using appliances that use large amounts of water, such as: Showers or bathtubs, Washing machines, Dishwashers
Reminder: All water used in your home flows into your grinder pump station. If the alarm light is on, the tank is near maximum capacity. Excessive water use may lead to sewage backup.
IMPORTANT
Sewage backup caused by continued water use during an alarm condition is the homeowner’s responsibility. Siewert Equipment is not liable for sewage backups or damage caused by sewage backups. Treat the alarm as a serious warning to stop using water immediately.
