What are the Common Problems of a Lift Pump?

The Lift Pump is equipment which functions as a pump by means of a mechanical device and creates a motion that incorporates a valve.

Septic and sewer systems are installed with lift pumps in low locations. A Lift Pump will push the wastewater to move from low pressure to a high pressure level to deal with gravity and other geographical factors.

Common Problems of Lift Pump

Stuck Lift Pump – One of the most common problems is clogging. Once the pump is interrupted and cannot drive simultaneously, it must have been clogged. The blockage has to be removed to operate again.

Faulty Valve – When the valve malfunctions, it may cause the wastewater to leak back to the septic system from the pump. This means that the pressure is not sufficient to push the waste going to the drain field or main line.

Float Problem – If you are using a float detector in your lift pump, it is prone to damage and may result the pump not to operate. The float detector has to be repaired or replaced to make the pump functional.

Motor and Wiring Issues – When the pump is not working and already has been tested, but still no luck, it might be an issue with the electrical wiring. The wiring and circuit breaker must be checked for troubleshooting. Replacement of damage line could be one of the possible solutions to have the pump back working. Once the wiring is fixed and the pump still cannot run, maybe the motor fails to function. Find an expert septic repair service to help you get your motor work or replace.
