When the drain field must be elevated due to soil conditions, seasonal high water table or site conditions that require it to be located in another location, lift stations are used.

A lift station works by filling up as water leaves the septic tank causing a float to rise. When it reaches a certain point it triggers the pump to turn on and pump the water to the drain field. If the pump or float stops working, water will not be pumped from the tank causing your plumbing to back up.

Lift stations can take quite a beating over time not only from all the pumping, but also from corrosion and abrasion. With the harsh and demanding environment, periodic repair and replacement is only to be expected!

Lift station repairs require not only expert level plumbing skills, but also high levels of electrical-, controls and structural knowledge. Atlantic Wastewater Solutions has the know-how and the experience to get the job done correctly the first time around!

What are the hydro-jetting benefits?

Restaurants and hotels are more likely to suffer food waste clogs that can lead to time consuming and costly drain back-ups. Many of these establishments use hydro-jetting as a preventative drain cleaning measure, perhaps scheduling a thorough clean every 2/3 months.

In your home, clogs can build up over a long period of time. Snaking is only effective for certain clogs and will not remove tree roots like hydro-jetting can. If your clog has reached a high nuisance level, only hydro-jetting will do.

In simple terms, the septic system consists of two parts – the tank and the leeching system. If you have a very complicated system, you may have dosing chambers, drop boxes, aerators or other attachments that are included.

The septic tank is a large box that is usually made from concrete but it may also be made from metal or plastic. The size will vary based on the size of the house and the regulations of the county. All the waste water from the home enters the tank from an inlet that opens into the middle section of it. This section consists of bacteria that break down the components of the waste water. This waste is then separated into three parts.

The Three Layers

The organic solids settle at the bottom and that layer is called 'sludge'. The middle layer is a relatively clear liquid which is called the effluent and the top layer consists of all the organic particles that are called the 'scum'. By separating all the waste water and allowing it to accumulate in one place, it is easy to pump them out of the system. The leeching system is used to distribute the effluent water into the ground. This is good for the mud and ground in the surrounding areas.

A sewage pump which is ideal for most residential applications will only need to pump up to 20 feet of lift to a gravity sewer. A typical sewage pump installation is when there is a bathroom located in a basement that gets pumped to a gravity line which is connected to the gravity sewer or septic system. Sewage ejector pumps cost less than true grinder pumps.

Grinder Pumps

True grinder pumps will actually shred the sewage and then pump it through the pipe. The main benefit of using a sewage ejector grinder pump is that paper and other debris that get flushed down the toilet are grinded down to help flow through the sewage system more efficiently and not cause clogs in the pipes.

These are powerful pumps, and until recently most sewage grinder pumps have only been available for commercial and residential usage. Grinder pumps are usually installed where the sewer is a long distance from the home, or there is a high vertical lift of more than 20 feet or so.
