Here in Central Florida lift stations are often used to pump wastewater and sewage from a lower elevation to a higher one. Unfortunately, it is all too common for lift stations to experience problems, after all they are defying gravity.
Common lift station problems include
Unusual noises
When the lift station becomes jammed or clogged, you can usually hear the sound of water backing up. Sometimes you can even hear the system actually reversing, taking wastewater into your home. This usually requires immediate attention, Orlando Septic Service offers emergency services for just this type of situation.
Problems with the float
Most lift stations work with a bobber or a float to determine the sewage level. The pump doesn’t usually run when the float is ruined or damaged. To avoid back ups you will need to have it professionally serviced.
Oil accumulation
If you notice your system has acquired high levels of oil, it needs immediate attention. The oil is known to break down stations because it is not water soluble.
Typical lift station maintenance and repairs including checking out the components, such as the electrical system, check valve, float switch, test cycle and check for any leaks.
