A typical septic system uses gravity to move filtered waste into the drain field. In this type of system, solid and liquid septic waste is allowed to separate in the tank; the resulting wastewater is then moved through a series of perforated pipes to distribute it throughout the drainage field. Often, available space and geography prevent this type of system from being effective. In these cases, a lift pump is used to move wastewater to an area where it can be properly filtered into the soil. If your home is situated on a hilly lot or has a raised bed system, your septic system may employ a lift pump.
Septic System Lift Pump Repair
Like all pumping systems, a septic lift can become clogged or can suffer from motor wear over time. An improperly functioning septic lift system can cause your tank to overflow. Typical signs of a full tank include foul odors in the home or yard and water pooling on your lawn. Under normal circumstances, a septic tank will require pumping every three to five years; if your system is filling too quickly, a damaged lift pump might be the cause.
