Lift station pump out for the life of your pumps.

Sewage lift stations/pump stations may be used as a matter of economics or to overcome inadequate hydraulic head when it is obvious that no other solution is practical. For instance, it may be more economical to utilize a sewage pump station to pump or lift the sewage over a ridge and let it flow by gravity to a sewage treatment plant, or to elevate sewage to pass through a sewage treatment system by gravity.

Clean your Grease trap Frequently

Tips on Grease Trap/Interceptor Cleaning Frequency

  

It is important to clean your grease trap/interceptor regularly to prevent fats, oil and grease

from mixing with water that is discharged to the sewer. The minimum cleaning frequency required
grease traps/interceptors in food service facilities is 90 days. However, more frequent cleaning
intervals may be necessary to prevent your grease trap/interceptor from operating poorly or
improperly.

  

If you see floating grease or grease deposits in a cleanout “downstream” of your trap/interceptor,

you need to increase the cleaning frequency and initiate a more regular schedule.

Tips on routine maintenance

• It is recommended that a professional service be used to ensure proper maintenance.

• Since grease traps/interceptors may have an unpleasant odor. It is recommended that you have them

cleaned prior to patrons visiting you establishment.
 

• Use Allen screws for securing the lid of your trap/interceptor instead of the conventional

Phillips or slot screws. Phillips or slot screws may become stripped over time.

• Keep an extra gasket on site for your grease trap/interceptor’s lid to prevent leaks and odors in

the event of a gasket failure.

• Develop and keep a grease trap/interceptor cleaning procedure and maintenance log sheet

promote proper documentation after each cleaning.

trap/interceptor maintenance difficult should consider using a professional service.

We love all types of drains! Call us at 305.620.7005!

Kitchen sink drains run slower and slower over time as greases, soaps, fats and detergents build up inside the pipes, eventually causing a clog. Our technicians will use a drain cleaning machine designed for sinks to break through the clog and get your drains flowing again.

Bathroom sink drains often become clogged with hair, toothpaste, soap and grime. Our technicians are experts at clearing all types of bathroom sink clogs and cleaning the pipe so your sinks will drain quickly.

Laundry drains often clog due to buildup of detergents, lint and other debris from the washing machine. A lint trap or strainer will reduce the amount of clog-causing debris that enters the sink or laundry line from the washing machine hose.

Floor drains are usually found in basements, laundry rooms and garages, as well as patios, driveways and some older bathrooms. Since these drains are typically not used very often, the water in the trap can evaporate, allowing odors to escape into the area. Pour a bucket of water into floor drains to fill the trap and prevent odors, and ensure that the drain flows freely to carry away water and prevent flooding. Floor drains can easily get clogged with dirt and other debris, but we can clean them quickly and professionally.

Downspout drains are designed to channel rain water away from your home’s foundation. Downspout drains are often connected to the city’s storm sewer system. These underground pipes can become clogged with leaves and debris, causing a downspout drain backup. We provide professional drain services to clean downspouts and underground pipes to restore proper drainage and keep flooding at bay.

Main sewer lines are the largest drains in your home and all other household drains feed into the main sewer line. Main sewer lines carry waste underground from the house to a city sewer line or a septic tank.The main sewer line can become clogged when debris from the household drains get trapped in the pipe. Tree roots can also penetrate broken or misaligned pipe joints, preventing waste from properly washing through the line. When the main sewer line clogs, toilets and drains throughout your house can backup, with no regard to time of day or night.

 

 

Grease Trap Instillations

 

 

For commercial business owners, a grease trap prevents costly and messy pipe blockages by preventing all of the fats, oils and grease from going down the drain. Grease trap installation is required by law under almost every municipality in the country.

Parking lot drains and the RAIN!

 

If your parking lot or underground garage is flooding don’t wait until more severe weather strikes possibly causing more extensive and costly damages.

However, if your catch basins and sumps are not draining, we can inspect your parking lot drains and get your systems flowing safely.

Pump Outs Unlimited will maintain your Lift Station!

The best way to avoid problems is to consistently keep an eye on your lift station. Get to

know it and what to expect from it. Once this is done, you can spot troubles before they blow

out of proportion.

 

 

 

The most important thing to do to care for your lift station is to read and record the hour

meters every day, at the same time. A calendar or log book works great for this. Record both the

total hours and daily total by subtracting the previous day’s total from the current day’s hours. If

everything is working correctly, the pumps will have pumped the same number of hours each

day because they alternate. Get to know how many hours to expect because this will indicate

problems down the road if the numbers are off. Hour meters in all of Aqua Engineering systems

turn off when the pump turns off for any reason. Because of this, if there is a difference in the

hours between the pumps, the pump with the least hours is likely to be the problem pump.
