Lift Station Maintenance

Lift stations use electrical pumps and controls to pump wastewater in residential and commercial facilities to other collection points for treatment. Inspection of submersible pumps and controls should be performed frequently. The wet wells should be pumped out and cleaned at least twice a year, or more often if necessary, to prevent solids and grease build-up. The build-up of solids can create gases that can damage the pump, or sink and get caught in the impeller. Call us today for service.

A lift station is a crucial infrastructure component designed for residential and commercial areas to facilitate the efficient transfer of wastewater from lower to higher elevations. It ensures proper drainage by pumping sewage to a higher elevation for further treatment or disposal.

Operating as a mechanical marvel, a lift station functions by utilizing pumps to elevate wastewater. As sewage accumulates in a lower-lying area, the lift station's pumps activate, propelling the wastewater uphill through pipes to reach treatment facilities or designated discharge points, preventing backups and ensuring the seamless flow of sewage.

Lift stations are designed with features to minimize odors. Modern lift station designs incorporate sealed systems and ventilation to control and contain any unpleasant smells associated with wastewater. Proper maintenance and ventilation play a crucial role in mitigating potential odors, ensuring that lift stations operate inconspicuously without causing unpleasant smells in the surrounding environment.
