Homes and businesses in Winter Haven, Florida, that are built on sloped land and connected to a septic system will typically require a lift station. These motorized components push drainage from the facility to the septic tank and on to the drain field. Lift station service is needed when problems arise.
Lakeland Septic repairs and replaces existing lift stations and installs new ones for newly developed properties. We’ve been in business for more than 15 years and know lift stations inside and out.
How Winter Haven Lift Stations Get Damaged
Here are some of the more common causes of damage and malfunction that require lift station service. Whatever is wrong with your lift station, we’ll explain it to you in simple language.
Failure Of The Pump: When a lift station pump fails, it can no longer push sewage in the right direction.
Heavy Stuff Above The Station: Building and construction on the ground above the lift station can result in various types of damage.
Trucks, Cars And Machinery: Anything heavy driven over the lift station can cause damage and lead to the need for lift station service and repair.
Misalignment: If the soil surrounding the lift station shifts naturally or is forcibly shifted, the station can misalign and begin to malfunction.
Old Age: Over time, even the best lift stations will wear out.
