Pumps you can't see. Service you can rely on.
A lift station is a buried pump chamber that moves wastewater from low elevation to a higher gravity sewer or septic tank. You see them on homes with basement plumbing, lake homes below road grade, big commercial buildings, multi family blocks, and HOA wastewater infrastructure. When a lift station fails, sewage backs up, fast. Routine maintenance is how you stay ahead of that.
What we service
- Residential lift stations, basement ejection pump chambers, low lying property pump systems
- Commercial lift stations, restaurants, retail, office, light industrial
- HOA / community lift stations, multi family developments, planned communities
- Septic effluent pump stations, pressure dose septic systems where the pump moves effluent from septic tank to drain field
- Grinder pump stations, for properties on low pressure sewer collection systems
Lift station inspection
A full inspection covers every failure point that we've seen take stations down over the years.
- Pump amperage draw & current condition (lead and lag pumps where dual pump configurations exist)
- Float switch operation at all set points (off, lead on, lag on, alarm)
- Discharge check valve seating
- Discharge piping integrity
- Control panel internal condition, corrosion, moisture, loose connections
- Alarm system test (audible and visible, plus any telemetry)
- Backup power configuration where present
- Wet well condition, accumulated grease, debris, structural integrity
- Vent and access cover condition
Scheduled maintenance plans
Commercial and HOA lift stations belong on a set schedule. Four times a year for a busy station, twice a year for moderate use, once a year for residential stations on light duty. We provide.

- Pump performance trending over time
- Predictive replacement recommendations before failure
- Compliance documentation for properties under EPD or county oversight
- 24/7 emergency response priority for maintenance contract holders

Emergency response
Whoever you call, call somebody who does this for a living. The directory lists the septic and sewer companies in each market it covers, ordered by review count, with nobody paying for a position.
