The business covers both electrical and septic services, which is a combination that makes particular sense for properties with pump-based septic systems.

Having one provider who handles both the mechanical and electrical sides of these systems is a real practical advantage for those homeowners.

Services & Process

Andy's All Star Electric works across electrical and septic services, which together cover a lot of ground for pump-dependent septic systems. On the electrical side, they can install, troubleshoot, and repair the pump panels, float switches, and alarm systems that keep a septic system running properly. Septic services cover inspections, system assessments, and service coordination for tanks and pumps. This dual expertise is especially valuable when an alarm activates and the homeowner needs someone who can diagnose whether it's an electrical fault or an actual septic overflow condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my septic alarm going off and what should I do?
A septic alarm usually means the water level in your pump tank is higher than it should be, which could indicate a pump failure, a float switch issue, or an electrical problem with the control panel. Stop doing laundry and limit water use until the system is checked, and call a provider who can assess both the electrical and mechanical components.
Do I need an electrician or a septic company when my pump system fails?
Sometimes both, but a provider who holds both licenses can figure that out for you. Pump failures can stem from a burned-out motor, a failed float switch, a tripped breaker, or a wiring fault, and diagnosing the right cause means checking both systems before assuming what's broken.
How long do septic pump motors typically last in the Lakewood area?
Most submersible septic pump motors last between 5 and 15 years depending on usage, water conditions, and how well the system is maintained. Regular inspections help catch a failing pump before it causes a sewage backup or drain field damage.
What's the difference between a gravity septic system and a pump system?
A gravity system moves wastewater from the tank to the drain field using natural slope, with no mechanical parts required. A pump system uses an electric pump to distribute effluent when the drain field is uphill or on a mound system, which means it has electrical components that need periodic inspection and can fail.
Can electrical problems damage my septic system?
Yes. A faulty float switch can cause a pump to run continuously and burn out, or fail to activate when needed, allowing the pump tank to overflow. Voltage irregularities from wiring issues can also shorten pump motor life significantly. Keeping the electrical side of your system in good shape protects the mechanical components too.
Are there permits required for septic work in Lakewood or Pierce County?
Yes. Septic system installations, repairs, and certain alterations require permits from Pierce County Environmental Health. Electrical work connected to septic systems also requires permits and must be performed by a licensed electrician. Working with a provider who holds the proper licenses for both trades simplifies the permit process.
