How it works
What is a septic lift station — and does your property have one?
Not every property uses a standard gravity-fed septic system. If your home or building sits lower than the drain field, a lift station is what makes the whole system work.

Live simulation — watch the pump respond to rising water levels
What it does
A lift station is an underground chamber with one or more pumps that collect wastewater and pump it uphill to the drain field or sewer line.
Who typically has one
Homes in low-lying areas of Cherokee County
Properties where the septic tank sits downhill from the drain field
Commercial buildings, restaurants, and multi-unit properties
An alarm panel inside your home labeled sewage pump or lift station
Lift station alarm going off?
Reduce water use immediately and call Precision Plumbing & Septic at (470) 993-1057. Don't silence the alarm and wait — wet well overflow happens fast.
Warning signs
Signs your lift station needs attention right now
The alarm panel is alarming or flashing
This is your system telling you the wet well is too full and the pump isn't keeping up. Don't silence it and wait — call Precision immediately.
Slow drains throughout the property
If every drain is slow at the same time, it's not a clog — it's likely the pump struggling or a float stuck in the off position.
Sewage odors near the tank or in the yard
Strong odors near the lift station indicate the wet well may be overflowing or the ventilation is compromised.
Unusual pump noises
Grinding, humming without pumping, or rapid on/off cycling all indicate pump or float problems that will worsen quickly without attention.
Wet or soggy ground near the lift station
Surface saturation near the wet well means the system is overflowing — this is an active emergency. Call immediately.
It's been over a year since your last service
Lift stations should be inspected and serviced annually. If you can't remember the last service visit, it's overdue.
