My septic alarm went off last night. After replacing a blown fuse, within 30 seconds the new fuse blew again. Any idea's what the problem may be? This is a new home ~ 1 year old. Help!

Sounds like you have a dosing system. High water alarms are triggered when the water in the pump chamber rises to a critical level and usually means there is a problem with the pump. The fact your also blowing a fuse also points to the pump being faulty.
Call your builder if you still have a warranty, or else call a plumber to look at it.

Sounds like the pump has developed a leak, allowing moisture to get into the motor case. If you are less then 1 year old, you can probably get it replaced for free, otherwise, you would probably have to pay labor and maybe get a new pump for free. Call the company that installed to discuss.

Maybe The Pump.
