    Our alarm went off on the sump pump. Water seems to be moving through the pipe OK...
    Alarm on the sump pump went off early this morning and although we didn't unplug the system, we did turn off the alarm. We had our septic tank emptied 2 years ago and only 3 people live in our house so I'm pretty sure it isn't full again. What could be the issue?
