Septic Pumps

When your septic pump fails, waste stops moving and problems show up fast. You might notice sewage backing up into drains, slow-flushing toilets, or wet spots forming over your drain field. In Central Florida, where high water tables put extra strain on septic systems, a failing pump can go from minor nuisance to full sewage backup in a short time. HL Plumbing diagnoses the problem and gets your pump running again before it turns into a bigger mess.

This service covers the pump hardware and components inside your septic system that move waste from the tank to the drain field or holding area. If something in that chain stops working, this is where we start.

  • Septic pump inspection to find whether the pump, float, or wiring is the cause of failure
  • Submersible septic pump replacement for effluent and sewage lift stations
  • Float switch repair or replacement when the pump won’t cycle on or off correctly
  • Alarm testing and reset after pump repairs to confirm the system is working as it should

If your tank itself needs pumping out or your drain field is backed up, those are separate services, and we’ll tell you upfront which one fits your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The clearest signs of a failed septic pump are slow drains throughout the house, gurgling noises in your pipes, or sewage backing up into sinks or toilets. Wet, soggy spots in your yard near the drain field can also point to a pump that stopped working. Call us at 407-717-6035 and we can walk you through what you're seeing before you schedule anything.
A failing septic pump does not fix itself, and waiting almost always makes the damage worse. Raw sewage can back up into your home or overflow into your yard, which creates a health hazard and a much bigger repair bill. The sooner you get it looked at, the more likely you avoid replacing the entire system.
HL Plumbing serves Apopka, Orlando, and the surrounding Central Florida area, so we can usually reach you quickly. Call us at 407-717-6035 and we will give you a straight answer on availability based on your location and what is going on with your system.
Cost depends on the pump type, the size of your tank, and how easy the system is to access. Most homeowners pay somewhere between $500 and $1,200 for a septic pump replacement, though that number can shift based on your specific setup. We give you a clear price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
In Florida, replacing a septic pump sometimes requires a permit depending on your county and the scope of the work. HL Plumbing handles the permit process for you so you do not have to figure that out on your own. We make sure the job is done right and up to code from the start.
