Restore Flow When Your Pump Fails

Septic Squad replaces failed septic pumps for homeowners throughout Orlando, Florida and neighboring communities.

When your septic pump stops working, wastewater cannot move from the tank to the drain field, and you will notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or an alarm that will not stop. Septic Squad replaces failed or aging pumps in Orlando area homes to restore proper system flow and prevent backups that can damage the drain field or flood the yard. Pumps are a critical part of many residential septic systems, especially in areas where gravity alone cannot move wastewater through the system.


Pump replacement involves removing the old unit, installing a new pump that matches your system's requirements, and testing the setup to confirm proper operation. The team is familiar with the pump configurations common in Orlando-area homes and works quickly to minimize the time your system is out of service. Replacing a pump before it causes drain field damage helps you avoid much larger repair costs down the road.

What happens when a septic pump is replaced?

The technician begins by locating the pump inside the tank or pump chamber, disconnecting the electrical supply, and removing the failed unit. A new pump is installed, wired correctly, and tested to ensure it activates at the right water level and moves wastewater through the line to the drain field. You will see the system return to normal operation in Orlando, Apopka, Oviedo or a surrounding area within a few hours of the replacement.


After the new pump is in place, your drains will empty normally, the alarm will stop sounding, and wastewater will move through the system without backup. You will also receive information about how the pump operates and when to schedule the next maintenance visit to check system performance.

Pump replacement does not include drain field repairs or tank cleaning, though those services can be scheduled separately if the system shows other signs of trouble. The technician will let you know if additional work is needed to keep the system functioning properly. 


Septic Squad focuses on making sure the pump is the right size and type for your home's water usage and system design.

Homeowners often want to know how long a pump replacement takes, what causes pumps to fail, and how to tell when a new pump is needed.

Feel free to ask before scheduling

How do I know if my septic pump has failed?
You will usually see slow drains, hear a running or clicking sound from the pump chamber, or notice the system alarm has turned on. Standing water in the yard near the tank can also indicate pump failure.
How long does a septic pump replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in two to four hours, depending on access to the tank and the type of pump being installed. You can resume normal water usage as soon as the work is finished.
What causes septic pumps to fail?
Pumps fail due to age, electrical issues, or damage from solids that enter the pump chamber. High water tables in Orlando can also cause pumps to run constantly, which shortens their lifespan.
How often do septic pumps need to be replaced?
Most residential septic pumps last seven to ten years, though this varies based on usage and system maintenance. Regular inspections help catch pump problems before they cause system backups.
Will a new pump prevent future drain field damage?
Yes, a functioning pump moves wastewater out of the tank at the correct rate, which prevents overload and saturation in the drain field. This reduces the risk of costly drain field repairs.
