What could go wrong with a lift station?

What could possibly go wrong, and why?
Lift stations need very little maintenance when only "sanitary waste"  goes in to them! But, if on the other hand, there is a grease trap attached to it or if there are folks cooking, cleaning and washing dishes that are attached to it then you will have grease that is being introduced into your lift station right now. Once grease builds up on your floats and on your pumps your lift station will quit working properly and may damage your expensive pumps. A Pumping service is needed for immediate cleaning right now.

Damage to your pump can be caused in a couple of ways. The first way is excessive trash on the floor of your lift station can cause damage to your pump. The second way is excessive grease can keep your float system from working properly and cause your pumps to continue running even after they have drained your pit, burning up the pump motor.
