Cleaning Your Lakeland, FL System through Lift Station Pumping
Lift Station Pumping in Lakeland – If your septic system doesn’t flow easily, this is often due to elevation changes between the house and the septic tank. Typically, septic systems are installed in places where gravity helps to pull the waste through the system, but if the property is not already set up that way, the cost to excavate land to allow this flow process can be very expensive. Another option in this case is to install a lift station, which usually contains an electric pump that keeps things flowing.
Lift station pumping is an important aspect of maintaining a septic system. The lift station typically has a pump, pipes, control panel with a built-in alarm, and a well with chemicals to treat the water and kill bacteria. The well should always be properly cleaned, and should never store sewage, as this can cause contamination to the other parts of the septic system. An experienced professional usually performs lift station pumping, since it can be very hazardous and dangerous.
A steel lift station will generally last for 15-20 years without any problems, and routine lift station pumping will prolong the life span. Another option is a concrete lift station, which is also very strong and sturdy. The pump in a lift station will usually have a trigger system that engages when it reaches a certain level. When the sewage reaches that point, the pump will move the waste through the pipes and away from the station. If the pump fails, it can cause a backup, which can potentially damage the environment and surrounding properties.

First, the night before, while taking a shower, my shower wouldn’t drain. I was was standing ankles deep in dirty water. Waited ‘til morning to call a septic company that could fix this problem. After an hour of calling, only one company said they could come to my home today. The rest said maybe a week, maybe 3 days and so on. That was William Dustin Septic. Not only did they show, they did so earlier than promised. The two gentlemen, David and Mason arrived,found the cover, and sucked out 900 gallons in less than an hour. These guys are professional and very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and suggested what I may encounter in the future and how to take care of it. I will never call another septic company. And then the next day, unbeknownst to me, brought by six bags of sand to fill the divots in my yard. First class, I highly recommend them and the price was very reasonable. I’m happy 😎

We used the services of William Dustin Septic twice in the past two weeks. The first time we needed a pump out of our tank. The team called earlier than scheduled and arrived promptly. They were friendly, professional and answered all questions. Upon talking to them, they suggested that we might be interested in having risers installed so as to avoid future need of digging up our lawn to access the tank covers for pumping. They explained the process and gave us a price.We called about a week later to schedule installation and again, the two gentlemen were prompt, friendly and professional. These two were not the same employees as the first time, so I was quite happy that all of the employees seem to have the same professionalism and pleasant demeanor.Price point was very reasonable and definitely competitive.Work was completed satisfactorily and completely.Promptness and communication was appreciated in this day and age of no-shows.I highly recommend this company and will definitely call again when we need service. Thank you for a pleasant septic experience.

Extremely helpful even before coming out to my house. I called and said I think I need a new drain field. They explained to me how to check if a drain field was needed. When William came to my house to quote the drain field he explained every step from start to finish. Great job. I would recommend William Dustin Septic over any other company we have dealt with in the past.

Very happy with the work provided to me by William Dustin Septic! William Dustin Septic started coming out for our home septic inspection before we bought the house. They cleaned everything out and assured us our septic system was in working condition.A couple of weeks later we had a plumbing issue and the plumber said he could not fix it and it must be our septic...we obviously called out William Dustin Septic immediately and they arrived just a couple hours later to our home.They checked into our system and assured us that it was STILL in working condition and that the plumber did not do his job correctly...and not only that...they then PROCEEDED TO FIX THE CLOGGED PIPE THAT THE PLUMBER SAID WAS NOT AN ISSUE!...AND didn't charge for the plumbing issue that they were not even brought out for.I am forever grateful. At the start of the day we couldn't use our toilets or showers and we are not fully functional!!!***I will say that they were prompt and professional through every encounter as well.10/10 recommend!

I called around 8:15 am to ask about pumping out my septic tank and they were at my house by 9:30 the same morning. There were two men with the truck, David and Mason, they were very helpful and professional, they explained what they were doing and made recommendations for me in the future to help maintain my septic system. I made arrangements for them to come to install risers for my system. I was very pleased with the price they charged and I will use them again.

Can't say enough about this company.First call - I talked to someone and set an appointment for the next day. No "leave a message" or unfulfilled promises of a return call.Unheard of in today's world!They called the next morning to let me know they would be here shortly, and they were!Aaron and Devin went right to work, were knowledgeable and did a great job.Here's what they didn't do:Did not try to upsell me for things I didn't need.Did not drive on the grass and leave ruts.Did not leave a mess.Did not find any reasons to charge more than the original quote.I say these things because they have all happened to me at one time or another.So to William Dustin; You are doing everything right at a time when few businesses are.

The William Dustin septic guys just finished and I am pleased to say they were 5 star in doing the work efficiently and professionally. The waste pump had failed and Dustin gave the best estimate for the whole job and there were no surprises. I will call them again if work needed and recommend them to all for future work. They are #1 in the # 2 business and I liked seeing our flag on their truck too.

Outstanding service. Dustin was recommended by a good friend. I blindly trusted and glad that I did! Dustin was quick to take my calls, very thorough in his explanations and his pricing beat most of the other companies out there. Dustin replaced our drainfileds and provided peace of mind at a time when I needed it most as I was in the hospital with my mom. He got the job done and even offered to drive by the hospital to collect payment which was going above and beyond. He's won a customer for life!

Best service around. Came on short notice and even arrived early. Best price in the area. Went above and beyond the service that I called them for.

Will use for all future services.

Bill and crew put a new drain field in for us recently (4/22/19). Let me start out by saying there’s not a better company to use. The work was spot on, on time and done at a fantastic price. Many homeowners nowadays need a raised drain field, which requires installation of a pumping station. It goes without saying that the price would reflect the extra work. What I learned from this experience, is that the county TELLS the septic company what is required.......after a soil sample is performed. The decision is not up to the company. Big lesson here for me. The first company that gave a written estimate, insisted that a pumping station and raised drainfield would “absolutely” be required. Mind you no soil sample was taken and no permit pulled to make this decision. Long story short, the first estimate was in the vicinity of $5400 for 300sq ft of drainage using chambers. Bill stated without question that he could do the job for $5000 if a raised drainfield and pumping station were needed. Surprise! Bill pulled the permit, county came and took soil sample to determine the depth of the water table, and NO raised drainfield was needed!!! The new field could go back into the ground. Total price was $3400. No BS. No inflating the price. And exactly what what was promised. I stand behind William Dustin 100%. Recommend him without hesitation.

I couldn't be happier with the service. Mr. Dustin was fast and professional He was not only the low bidder (out of 5-6 bids), but the final bill even came in UNDER estimate! Who could ask for more? The whole crew was friendly, efficient and professional. If you need septic work performed, don't bother wasting your time gathering bids (like I did). William Dustin Septic is the only call you need to make.

Everything in our house was clogged. If I ran the washer the water ended up on the floor of the front bathroom, etc. We called a plumber first but they couldn't help except to suggest our tank needed to be pumped out. I called William Dustin Septic and was very pleased with the job they did for us. They even dug out the main line and explained what else we should do so we wouldn't have an ongoing problems. Thank you very much for your outstanding service!

William came to our home today to inspect a Pump issue we noticed (but truthfully had no idea how to address). I was so thankful of his knowledgable information, fast and efficient work ethic, and kindness to this girl...who had NO CLUE what was going on to be honest. He and his partner did not make me feel pressured to purchase multiple services, but rather educated me on what was going on, what to expect, and how to amend the current problem. Thank you for a job well done...and a brand new pump! Haha!
