Lift Station Pumps 101

If not connected to a city sewer system, you have to figure out how to handle waste at your home. Waste stops for no one, and it is critical to have a reliable system to continually treat outgoing waste. For whatever reason, if you are not connected to the city sewer system, then you are probably already familiar with safety protocol in removing waste from your home. If so, you know about lift station pumps and how important they are in the waste elimination process. For those who are not, here is some basic information about lift station pumps:

•  Lift station pumps are used to pump sewage/wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher elevation. This helps everything flow smoothly in the septic waste elimination process and prevent clogging.

•  There are two types of lift station pumps: submersible (pump submersed in water) and dry.

Lift pump stations are critical in making sure that wastewater doesn’t clog things up, but continues to run through the treatment process. If maintained, a lift pump can last between 15 and 20 years. To secure this lifespan, you need a reliable company that will take care of maintenance and the ability to spot problem areas so impending issues are prevented.
