Pro Plumbing Air & Electric: Septic Pumping & System Repair in Lexington, NC

Lexington sits in the heart of Davidson County’s Piedmont terrain—where clay and silt soils create unique challenges for septic systems. Add in the high water tables around High Rock Lake and the older systems scattered through Reeds and Welcome, and you’ve got a recipe for backups, alarm failures, and drainfield stress. Most septic companies can pump your tank. But when your aerobic treatment unit alarm won’t stop beeping, or your lift station pump dies at 9 PM, they hand you a business card for “someone else.”

Pro Plumbing Air & Electric doesn’t pass the buck. We’re licensed plumbers, HVAC techs, and electricians—which means we’re the only call you need when your septic system crosses into electrical or plumbing territory. That buzzing alarm? We diagnose the float switch and replace the control panel on the spot. Slow drains backing up into your guest bath? We’ll hydro-jet the mainline obstruction and inspect your effluent filter—all in one trip. With 380+ five-star reviews from Lexington homeowners, we’ve earned our reputation by solving problems others can’t touch.

Complete Septic Solutions for Lexington Homeowners

We’re not a “pump-and-run” operation. Every service call is a full system evaluation because septic failures don’t happen in isolation—they’re the result of months of neglect, clogged filters, or failed pumps that nobody caught early.

• Septic Tank Pumping & Sludge Removal: We remove the entire load: the floating scum layer at the top (grease, oil, and soap residue) and the compacted sludge layer at the bottom (heavy solids that settle over time). In Lexington’s clay-silt soil, sludge accumulates faster than in sandy regions. If it’s not fully evacuated, solids escape into your drainfield laterals—and that’s a $15,000-$25,000 replacement you don’t want to face.
• Septic Pump & Alarm Repair: This is where we stand apart. Aerobic treatment units (ATUs) and lift stations rely on electric pumps to move effluent. When the high water alarm starts screaming, it’s usually a failed float switch, tripped breaker, or burned-out pump motor. Standard septic companies call an electrician. We ARE the electricians. We’ll diagnose the control panel, replace the pump if needed, and reset your system—same visit, no waiting for a second crew.
• Effluent Filter Cleaning & Inspection: The effluent filter is a small cartridge that sits in your tank’s outlet baffle. It’s the last line of defense before wastewater reaches the drainfield. When it clogs with solids (because the tank wasn’t pumped on schedule), your drains slow down and alarms trigger. We clean it during every pump-out and replace it if we see tears or excessive buildup. Most fly-by-night pumpers don’t even know where it is.
• Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting: Slow drains aren’t always a septic problem—sometimes it’s a mainline obstruction caused by tree roots, grease buildup, or collapsed pipe sections. We’ll camera-inspect your lines, then use high-pressure hydro-jetting to clear blockages without excavation. If the problem is deeper (saturated drainfield or biomat buildup), we’ll tell you honestly what’s happening and what needs fixing.
• Emergency Septic & Plumbing Dispatch: Sewage backing into your shower at 7 AM? Lift station pump dead on a Friday night? We offer rapid response because we know septic emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Stop using water, keep kids and pets away from any standing effluent, and call us. We’ll diagnose whether it’s the tank, the pump, or the drainfield—and we’ll have the tools to fix it right then.

Serving High Rock Lake, Reeds, and Welcome

High Rock Lake properties face septic challenges that inland systems don’t. Lakefront homes deal with strict watershed regulations, seasonal high water tables, and older systems installed before modern code enforcement. If your drainfield is near the shoreline, you’re required to maintain advanced treatment (often an ATU) to protect water quality. That means annual inspections, working alarms, and functional aerobic pumps—not optional equipment.

Whether you have a vacation home on the water where the system only runs seasonally, a year-round residence in Reeds where clay soil causes slow percolation, or a farm property out in Welcome with a conventional gravity system serving a 4-bedroom house, Pro Plumbing Air & Electric knows your neighborhood’s septic realities.

We’re headquartered right on American Way, offering rapid dispatch to anywhere in Davidson County. That means when your alarm goes off on a Saturday morning before guests arrive, we’re pulling into your driveway within the hour—not telling you “we’ll try to fit you in next Thursday.”

We also serve Thomasville, Denton, and the surrounding Davidson County communities. If you’re on septic in the Triad’s Piedmont belt, we’ve worked on your system type dozens of times.

Why Lexington Residents Trust Pro Plumbing Air & Electric

380+ Five-Star Reviews. Licensed in Three Trades. One Call Does It All.When a septic system fails, it’s rarely just one thing. Maybe the tank is full AND the lift station pump burned out AND the alarm wiring shorted. Standard septic companies pump the tank, hand you a business card, and leave. You’re stuck calling an electrician, waiting another three days, and hoping the plumber you found online is actually licensed.

We handle it in one trip. Plumbing license? Check. Electrical contractor license? Check. HVAC certification for when your heat pump needs service while we’re there? Also check. You’re not juggling three vendors and three invoices. You’re working with a team that’s been serving Lexington families since long before Google reviews existed.

• Emergency Availability for Septic Alarms & Backups: High water alarms don’t beep politely during business hours. Sewage backups don’t wait for convenient scheduling. We offer 24/7 dispatch because we know that in clay-silt soil with high water tables (especially around High Rock Lake), small problems cascade into biohazard emergencies fast. One call gets you a licensed pro who can diagnose electrical, plumbing, and septic issues on the spot.
• Honest Diagnostics, Not Scare Tactics: If your alarm is beeping because you forgot to reset the breaker after a storm, we’ll tell you—and we won’t charge you a service call for flipping a switch. If we pump your tank and notice a failing baffle or saturated drainfield, we’ll show you photos and explain what’s happening. We’ve been in Lexington long enough that word-of-mouth reputation matters more than upselling a single customer. You’ll get the truth, even if it’s “Your system is fine, just call us back in three years.”
• We Understand Lakefront & High Water Table Challenges: High Rock Lake properties can’t follow generic “pump every 3-5 years” advice. Seasonal water table fluctuations, watershed compliance inspections, and aerobic system maintenance requirements mean you need pros who understand the regulations—not just guys with a pump truck. We’ll tell you when your ATU needs servicing, when your alarm panel needs replacing, and when it’s time to call the health department for a compliance check.
