Lift Station Pumping
Lift station pumping is crucial when it comes to the health of your septic system. The lift station is responsible for moving wastewater or sewage from the bottom of the septic tank to the drain field. The lift station pump activates when it detects a high level of wastewater, ensuring the efficient flow of waste out of your property. Without a functioning lift station pump, your septic tank would fail to drain properly, leading to serious issues such as backups, foul odors, and environmental hazards.
Common signs that a lift station is failing include slow-draining sinks and tubs, toilets that back up frequently, unpleasant odors emanating from drains, and wet, soggy areas in your yard. These issues often suggest that the lift station pump is struggling to move wastewater efficiently, potentially due to wear and tear, clogs, or mechanical failure. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to have the lift station inspected as soon as possible, as continued operation under these conditions can lead to more severe problems, including system overflows or complete failure. Timely repair or replacement of the lift station pump is essential to maintaining the overall health of your septic system and preventing costly damage.
