No, they overflow because they aren't maintained properly. They need to be pumped out periodically to remove the sludge that accumulates in the bottom. You also need to be careful which cleaners, toilet tissue and grease you dump in. By the time it overflows, you've probably damaged your drain field and this is expensive to fix.

What are the uses of rain alarm?
lets understand this with the help of an example, suppose we have to fill a water tank on the roof top with the help of a motor,now to get an idea of the overflow we can use the rain alarm. The rain alarm apparatus is placed below the tank in such a way that water strikes the rain sensors as soon as the overflow occurs,now as we know that water is a good conductor of electricity,so the circuit gets completed by this overflowing water and the alarm rings,giving us an indication about the overflow. this is a practical application of rain alarm in day to day life.

Can you connect rainwater pipes to a septic tank?
No. It would be a violation of most building and health codes.Why would you want to? Why not buy a water tank and catch the rain water for other uses.The water from a moderate to heavy rain will exceed the capacity of the septic tank. It could cause sewage to backup into the home. It could also cause sewage to backup out of the rainwater pipes. The extra water will upset the micro-environment that the bacteria need to process the waste. You may end up with a smelly tank.Too much water may send unprocessed waste into the absorption field pipes and clog them. This would be veryexpensive to fix. Clogged pipes in the absorption field cannot be repaired. The only solutions are: (1) a new absorption field (if there is room on the property); or (2) a personal sewage treatment plant.You would be liable for any damage caused to neighboring properties. Moreover, some jurisdictions provide criminal penalties for anyone that modifies a septic system in such a manner that it could contaminate water downstream.
