There is a switch or button on most panels.  DO NOT mute system with the breaker.

It depends on the manufacture.  Most aerators last 3-4 years, the models that we use can be rebuilt at half the cost of a new one.  Plan on replacing an effluent pump every 6 years.  Control panel parts vary too much to list.  We replace sprinklers all the time, usually due to kids learning how to [...]

Almost never.  It is usually due to a dried up p-trap on a sink, tub, or shower that has not been used in awhile.  Pour water down the drain of the unused room.  This should help the odor to go away.

Not necessarily.  Your effluent pump has a life expectancy of 6 - 7 years.  However, if the pump has failed due to high sludge levels it is recommended that you have your system pumped at the same time.  We will not warranty a pump replacement due to high sludge levels without a complete pump out.

Some systems take on ground water when it rains.  It is not supposed to do this and may need to be fixed.  If possible set the system to pump "on-demand" until the wet event passes.

If you have a neighbor with a stinky septic and they show no intention or concern about fixing the problem, you can make an anonymous complaint to your Health Department / Development Services.

First, do not panic.  Alarms mean you have high water or the aerator has failed.  If it is a high water alarm and the sprinklers are on, then mute the alarm. Wait to see if the alarm goes off after the sprinklers have finished.  If you still have an alarm, then please call. Call AAMS for trouble shooting [...]

We offer warranties on all the work that we do and we have no control over how a homeowner uses their septic system.

If it is a septic odor multiple things can be happening, or better yet not happening.  Hydraulic overload, too much effluent, or bacteria kill off due to air restriction or too many chemicals entering system.  Also check and make sure that your aerator is running.  If it is not, contact us.
