Septic Pump Parts and Lifespan
Septic pumps are required when your septic holding tank is below the grade of the drain field and are typically located within your septic tank or in a separate container alongside it. When the waste level inside the holding tank reaches a certain level, a float activates the septic pump and discharges the waste into the drain field. Septic pumps consist of two main parts, the volute and the motor. The lifespan of a septic pump is between 5 and 15 years with proper maintenance.
How do I know if my septic pump needs to be replaced?
Having a septic system alarm installed will alert you if there is a problem with your holding tank or septic pump. Common signs that your septic pump is failing include:
- Excessive noise coming from your holding tank
- Sewage backups and slow drains
- Pooling water in your yard
- Foul Odors near your septic system
- Septic pump not starting or struggling to start

My grinder pump died during sub-zero conditions. Andy at ASI gave me sage advice that both saved me money and kept his crew safe. I could not be more impressed by the integrity and customer service that I was given . The two men that replaced the broken pump were both skilled and gentlemanly. I feel blessed to have had ASI do the job for me. They also were far cheaper that what my neighbor paid for the same work. Thanks ASI.

Our repair/installation was handled with confidence, skill and knowledge. I highly recommend Austin for any septics concerns. He installed an electric septic replacement panel that other local companies could not figure out. We were very impressed that he obtained the original septic plans for our home from Racine County, prior to installation. A great overall experience.

Outstanding! Had emergency service during holiday with a dozen people visiting. Came out within four hours of phone call ( on an hour and a half one-way service call to get here) and removed and replaced pump with no drama. Extremely reasonable bill, and further, 10 months later had alarm go off on sewer pump with the same response time and repaired perfectly under warranty. Very hard to find a plumbing repair service/sewer service that is honorable reasonable and responsive. I would give it six stars if I could...

I live in the Mary Lane Area Sanitary District which covers the Village of Lac LaBelle and a portion of the Town of Oconomowoc. Area Septic Installation was called to repair (on behalf of MLASD) our grinder pump which failed for the first time in 30 or so years. We placed a call to the district at 8pm on a Sunday night. By noon the next day we were back up and running. The scheduling of running a new electrical conduit underground was coordinated with us. The crew was respectful of our property and very professional. I would highly recommend them.

We learned that we needed a new holding tank installed with just 2 weeks to go until we closed on our house we were selling. We were moving out of state and also had a house to close on there that we were in danger of losing. Andy made our project a priority so we could close on time. The most excellent customer service ever! All workers were very polite and did a great job! The project was completed and we will be moving on time! My wife and I can't even begin to express how grateful we are to Andy! Seriously he has been a life-saver!! Highly recommend!

Had our Grinder pump fail over the weekend. Austin Plumbing wanted 5K to replace it. Andy came out and replaced it for 2K with a rebuilt pump with a 1 year warranty. Even if I had bought a new pump it still would have been only $3400. and the cost included time and half for weekend work. Andy did a great job and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him if your grinder or lift pump needs replacing.

I contacted ASI on 2/24/16 because of a grinder pump issue. I was met by Joe an employee the next day at our boat landing to walk across the ice to assess the grinder pump problem. Joe brought all the necessary tools and parts along with him to the lake home which saved time and money! As we walked to the lake home Joe asked what the motor/pump sounded like.After describing the sound to him he went back to service truck and brought another part with him. Joe was courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and honest. The cost to repair was reasonable and I would definitely use ASI again.
