About Take Charge Electric

Take Charge Electric is based in Lakebay, Washington, a small waterfront community on the Key Peninsula in Pierce County. With a 4.2 rating, this provider stands out by combining electrical services, septic services, and generator installation under one roof, which is genuinely useful in a rural area where multiple trades are often needed at once. The Key Peninsula's remote character means homeowners regularly face challenges getting multiple contractors out on the same day. Having one company handle electrical and septic work together can save significant time and coordination effort.

Services & Process

On the septic side, Take Charge Electric handles system service needs common to rural Key Peninsula properties, including tank pumping, system checks, and identifying issues with septic components. Their electrical background is directly relevant to septic work because modern aerobic treatment units and pump systems rely on electrical controls, float switches, and alarms that need proper wiring. Generator installation and repair rounds out the offering, which matters when a power outage on the peninsula can disable an electrically dependent septic system. This combination of skills makes them well-suited for homes with advanced septic setups.

Service Area

Take Charge Electric serves Lakebay and the surrounding Key Peninsula communities, including Home, Vaughn, and Longbranch in Pierce County. They also travel to nearby areas of Mason County for electrical and septic service calls on rural residential properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need an electrician for a septic issue?
Many modern septic systems use electric pumps, control panels, and alarm floats that require proper wiring to function. When a septic alarm goes off or a pump fails, the root cause is often electrical rather than a problem with the tank itself.
What does a septic alarm going off actually mean?
A septic alarm usually signals that the water level in your pump chamber is higher than it should be, which can mean the pump isn't working or the float switch has failed. You should reduce water use in the house immediately and call a service provider who can check both the electrical and mechanical components.
How does a generator protect my septic system during a power outage?
If your septic system uses an electric pump to move waste to the drain field, a power outage will stop that pump from running, causing waste to back up in the tank and potentially into the house. A properly sized backup generator keeps the pump running during outages.
Are septic systems on the Key Peninsula different from those in urban Pierce County?
Rural Key Peninsula properties often have older systems, larger lots, and different soil conditions than urban areas, which affects how systems are designed and maintained. Many homes here also have more advanced systems like mound systems or drip irrigation setups that require more attention.
How often should I check my septic alarm panel?
You should test your septic alarm panel at least once a year by pressing the test button, if your system has one, to confirm the audible and visual alerts are working. A non-functional alarm means you won't know when something goes wrong.
Can Take Charge Electric handle both the generator installation and the septic hookup in one visit?
Yes, that's one of the main advantages of working with a provider who covers both trades. Combining the work reduces your scheduling hassle and ensures the generator is properly sized and wired to support your septic pump alongside other critical household loads.
