What Is Lift Station Cleaning and Maintenance?

A lift station is a wastewater pumping system that moves sewage from lower elevations to higher points for proper flow. Over time, debris, grease, sludge, rags and solids accumulate, which can damage pumps, clog lines and trigger system alarms.

Lift station cleaning and maintenance includes:

• Removing grease, solids, debris, and sludge
• Cleaning the wet well
• Inspecting pumps, floats, sensors, and valves
• Checking electrical and control panels
• Flushing lines and clearing buildup
• Testing pump cycles for proper performance
• Odor management
• Ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable operation

Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, backups, overflows, and emergency repair costs.

Why Is Lift Station Cleaning Important?

A neglected lift station can cause:

• Pump failures
• Overflow and flooding
• Sewage backups into buildings or onto property
• Foul odors
• Equipment damage
• Environmental and regulatory violations
• Emergency service interruptions

Routine service keeps your system running smoothly and protects your property from costly, dangerous failures.
