Installing a lift station

As such, lift stations are mainly used in this commercial setting. However, there are several situations in which lift stations are appropriate for residential use as well. These lift stations are smaller and designed to fit within your septic system. Like we mentioned, most septic systems function properly when aided by gravity. However, there are some situations in which a lift station is helpful or even necessary.

If the terrain around your home is particularly hilly it can be difficult to create a gravity fed septic system. This means that a pump may be the best option to create an operational system. Although lift stations do add to the overall cost of a septic system, they can save on the overall installation cost depending on the terrain. Excavation costs can add up quickly, especially in rocky terrain or on steep hills.

In this case comparing the cost of added excavation and installing a lift system can be beneficial. Lift stations have a lot of moving parts and need to be maintained and eventually replaced. However, when properly maintained these systems are expected to last in the range of years. If you are proactive with how you manage wastewater and have a professional inspect your system, repair and replacement costs can be kept to a minimum.
