Many properties in the Polk City, FL, area have septic systems. Among them, some require lift stations to help sewage move from a lower elevation to a higher elevation for processing.
Lakeland Septic Company works throughout Polk City, FL, and all of Polk County, FL, to inspect, repair, and install lift stations for our customers’ septic systems.
Lift Station Repair
A lift station includes an alarm, an odor-control system, a ventilation system, a power supply and several other important parts and components.
When these parts and components begin to fail, some serious problems are likely to happen at your Polk County, FL, home.
- Sewage backing up into sinks and drains
- Toilets not flushing completely or overflowing
- Horrible sewage odors inside your home or outside near the septic system
- Soggy patches of ground above parts of the septic system
- Particularly healthy grass above the septic system but nowhere else
These signs can point to issues with other parts of your septic system beyond the lift station. If you notice any of them, call us for a thorough inspection.
