What Is a Grinder Pump Alarm?

A grinder pump alarm is your first line of defense against serious plumbing failures. Installed alongside your grinder pump system, the alarm alerts you the moment something goes wrong—usually when wastewater reaches an unsafe level in the tank. This early warning gives you the chance to act before sewage backs up into your home or business. If you don't have one, we can help. Give us a call 518-366-5818

Why You Need One

Grinder pump failures are silent until they’re catastrophic. Without an alarm system, you may not realize your pump has failed until raw sewage is bubbling into your yard, basement, or worse—your home.

Here’s what can happen without a grinder pump alarm:

  • Sewage backups into your home or basement

  • Contaminated groundwater and landscaping

  • Thousands of dollars in emergency cleanup and repairs

  • Loss of property value and insurance headaches

  • Health risks from exposure to wastewater

You wouldn’t drive a car without a check engine light—don’t run your grinder pump without an alarm.

How It Works

Our grinder pump alarms monitor the water level inside your pump basin. If the pump fails or can’t keep up, the alarm is triggered by a float switch, alerting you immediately via:

  • Audible alarms (inside or outside the house)
  • Visual flashing light
  • Optional connection to your home security system


Remote Monitoring

We also offer dedicated remote monitoring devices that notify us directly when your pump isn't functioning properly. Perfect for:

  • Seasonal homes
  • Rental properties
  • Businesses with hard-to-access pump locations
  • Peace of mind for home owners who do not want to monitor it themselves.
