1. A septic sludge alarm assembly for emitting an alert when sludge in a septic system reaches a trigger volume for communicating that the septic system needs to be emptied, said assembly comprising:
a vault being buried beneath ground thereby facilitating said vault to be aligned with a septic tank;
a sludge trap being positioned within said vault, said sludge trap having an inlet being in fluid communication with an outlet, said inlet being fluidly coupled to an output of the septic tank, said outlet being fluidly coupled to a leach field supply, said sludge trap having a lower section sequentially angling downwardly and upwardly between said inlet and said outlet thereby facilitating liquid flowing into said inlet to be urged to flow downwardly into said lower section, said sludge trap having an upper section sequentially angling upwardly and downwardly between said inlet and said outlet thereby inhibiting the liquid flowing into said inlet to be urged to flow upwardly into said upper section, said sludge trap urging the liquid to flow upwardly into said upper section when said lower section becomes sufficiently filled with sludge; and
a flow alarm being integrated into said upper section of said sludge trap thereby facilitating said flow alarm to be actuated when said sludge trap urges the liquid to flow upwardly into said upper section, said flow alarm including an alert being conspicuously located thereby facilitating said alert to be visible to a user, said alert being turned on when said flow alarm is actuated wherein said alert is configured to alert the user that the septic tank needs to be emptied.
