Why Do Lift Stations Need to Be Maintained?

The lift station is a key part of the entire sewage and drainage system and is what keeps systems for sewage disposal consistently working. A sewage lift station is one thing you may never consider maintaining until you realize it is not working as expected. Needless to say, resuming your daily activities when you’ve got a malfunctioning lift station can be challenging.

Maintaining a Lift station

Your sewage lift station company will install a sewage ejector pump if your home has a basement, laundry rooms in the basement, or any appliance that wastewater drains out of. The pumps are useful when the municipal sewer lines run to the street higher than your fixture. The ejector pump helps pump the liquids and the solids up into your sewer line to make it flow well.

Since sewage is a hazardous material, not just anyone is qualified to handle it. When performing routine lift station maintenance, our technician will  monitor and log the flow readings, clean the floats, grease motors, and test power and electrical components as well as the backup generators. 

We will also make it a point to test the lift station alarms to ensure that you’ll be immediately informed should any issue arise.
