Contact us if you notice that your lift station isn’t working properly.
Your septic system is an important part of dealing with home wastewater, and lift stations are an important part of making sure that wastewater moves efficiently from lower levels to higher ones. Lift stations that aren’t working properly can cause big problems in your septic system. If you can spot the signs of trouble early on, you can avoid expensive fixes and possible health risks. Once you spot the signs below, you can contact our team at Southern Water and Soil to remedy the situation.
One of the most obvious signs that something is wrong with lift stations is a strong odor. If you consistently smell sewage, it could mean that something is wrong with the lift station, allowing sewage to build up and release unpleasant gases. In addition, if you notice your drains moving slower than normal, it could mean that the lift station is having trouble pumping wastewater properly. At the same time, this could also be due to a clog or a malfunctioning pump. However, both problems would require prompt repair services from our team.
Beyond a strong odor and slow-moving drains, lift stations in need of repair might also cause strange gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your toilets and sinks. This could happen when air is stuck, there’s a blockage, or a check valve isn’t working properly.
These are only a few of the signs that indicate your lift station may need professional repair services. If you’re concerned about your septic system in the Fort Myers, Florida area, contact our team today.
