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. Lift stations are responsible for moving wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher one. The nature of gravity forces the necessity of such a system to be in place for the waste to reach its next destination, usually a water treatment plant or drain field. The complex system of [...]

Owning a Florida home with a septic system comes with its own set of rules. The same goes for installing them. With part of the filtration relying on natural processes, septic systems require help from their surrounding environment to thrive and efficiently treat wastewater. Once pushed through your tank, wastewater enters the drain field (or leach field) for its final treatment. This process happens when the wastewater is pushed out of the perforated tubes into the surrounding soil. As it runs down into the water table, the soil filters out any untreated particulates, making the treated water safe to [...]

Signs and Causes of Septic Leaks

We've heard clients repeatedly say, "But, I didn't know" and "How are you suppose to know?" when we are over for a septic repair. And those are fair responses!

You can tell when something is wrong with your septic system with a bit of attentiveness. This leads us to septic leaks. Not all of the causes of leaks in your septic system are underground. Your septic habits may be the issue — [...]

Premature Septic Failure

If you install a septic system or purchase a house with an existing system, you hope you have a good long time before needing repairs or replacement. And with septic tanks typically lasting 15 to 20 years, there is a good chance you'll have some time. But if you purchase an older home or aren't following the golden "Do Not Flush" rules, you may find yourself playing with a ticking time bomb.

What’s Up With Your Septic Pump?

We have said it once, and we will say it again: your septic system has a dirty job. A dirty job that requires all the different components to work together – efficiently — for your septic to properly treat the waste and waster water from your home or business. If one of those parts isn't functioning well, it could spell trouble for your system. While many of us think of the two significant septic components, the septic tank, and drain field, we don't often think about the septic pump that connects them. What Does Your Septic [...]

Signs of Drainage Problems in Your Yard

It's the end of August in Florida. That means hot weather, afternoon storms, and hurricane season. While Florida's soil can handle the rain, once you make changes and add some landscaping, it may not be as ready to handle the downpours. For septic owners, that spells trouble. With the last treatment using the ground's natural filtration, if your yard has drainage problems, that could mean contaminated water isn't getting treated before entering the groundwater. Your Septic System Requires Good Drainage Flooding can be disastrous for your septic system and the effective treatment of wastewater. After solids [...]
