FAQs

What is a lift station pump?

A lift station pump is the heart of your septic system, responsible for moving wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher one. It keeps everything flowing smoothly and efficiently. 

How often should a lift station be pumped?

We recommend pumping every 3-5 years, but our experts will assess your unique situation and create a customized maintenance plan that keeps your system running like a well-oiled machine.

However, this frequency may change depending on factors like the size of your tank, household size, and usage. 

How do I know if my lift station pump is bad?

Signs of a malfunctioning lift station pump include: strange noises, foul odors, and slow drainage. If you notice any of these red flags, don’t panic! Puget Sound Septic‘s experienced team is here to diagnose and resolve the issue promptly. 

What is the difference between a pump station and a lift station?

Lift stations are specifically used to move wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher one, while pump stations are more general and can move wastewater in any direction.
