Keep wastewater moving where gravity alone cannot carry it to the proper destination.
Wastewater does not always have a straightforward downhill route from a property to its next destination. When elevation or site conditions prevent gravity from doing the entire job, lift stations can collect wastewater at a lower point and pump it to a higher elevation so it can continue moving through the system.
Because lift stations depend on pumps, controls, floats, alarms, and other working components, equipment problems can interfere with normal wastewater movement. Warning alarms, unusual pump operation, strong odors, or wastewater backing up are all reasons to have the station checked. Waiting for the system to stop completely can create a much more disruptive situation.
In Eaton Park, Florida, Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. provides service for lift stations that need maintenance, inspection, or repair. Looking at the entire station is important because an operating problem may involve more than the pump itself. Electrical components, switches, controls, buildup within the basin, and other factors may contribute to poor performance.
Regular maintenance can help identify wear before it leads to an unexpected shutdown. Stations that handle frequent or substantial wastewater flow may particularly benefit from periodic attention because their mechanical components perform repeated cycles throughout normal operation.
Property owners and managers should also pay attention to alarms rather than silencing them and assuming the problem has passed. An alarm exists to indicate a condition that needs investigation.
If your lift station is behaving differently, producing an alarm, or simply needs routine service, contact us to arrange an evaluation. Addressing concerns promptly can help keep wastewater moving and reduce the likelihood of an inconvenient system failure.
