Septic Lift Stations – What Are They There For?

Generally, homeowners don't have much reason to be concerned with the inner workings of their septic lift stations until something has gone awry. These stations are an integral part of the sewage system. They can quickly become an emergency should something fail due to a lack of preventative service.

As it runs down into the water table, the soil filters out any untreated particulates, making the treated water safe to [...]
