What is a Lift Station?

What is a Lift Station?

Wastewater lift stations are facilities designed to move wastewater from lower to higher elevation, particularly where the elevation of the source is not sufficient for gravity flow and/or when the use of gravity conveyance will result in excessive excavation depths and high sewer construction costs.





Maintenance work


The pumps, electronic controls and electrical works are under constant physical stress, and the corrosive environment requires constant maintenance repair. There is, however, a point where they need to be rebuilt with wholesale equipment replacement. On average that is about every 15 to 25 years. For larger capacity pumps it is recommended to rebuild at least one pump a minimum of every two years. Performance of routine and preventative maintenance can save station's owner from costly repair bills.


We offer monthly maintenance for lift stations. If you would like to request a formal agreement, give us a call to our office 305.620.7005!

Cleaning and pumping out lift stations.

Cleaning is required when you start to see grease caking up on walls or floats. Once you see the first signs of grease floating in your lift  station  you need to start monitoring your lift station regularly to determine a cleaning schedule. Many apartment complexes find that a 90 day cleaning schedules keeps them from having problems. Others prefer to wait until a plumber is out fixing burned up pumps.

Servicing your equipment regularly prevents problems!

Lift station repairs can be a very important.

Large pumping stations supply water to canals and they are an integral part of the many pumped-storage hydroelectric facilities. Lift station repair includes mining operations, water treatment plants, and many industrial applications. So important are lift stations to the area that Miami has a material supplier and many companies that specialize solely in lift station repair and service.

The majority of the population in Miami, FL gives little thought to lift stations when they are working, but it is of huge importance when they don’t. During times of natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes, power outages lead to the loss of service to lift stations. That is one of the primary reasons why electric companies work so hard to get the power back on after such an occurrence.

Clearing Clogged Sewer Lines

To clear a clogged sewer line, a nozzle with a forward jet(s) is used. Forward jet(s) only use a small proportion of the total GPM to bore through a blockage with a minimal loss of propulsion. The forward jet is design to bore into the blockage to allow the rear jets with more flow to remove the bulk or remainder of the blockage. Note that a forward jet(s) may have reduced flow per orifice compared to the rear nozzle orifices; the pressure (PSI) is always the same at all orifices.

If your tank hasn't been pumped in the last 5 years, you are seeing wet areas or standing water above your drainfield, your toilets are running slowly or there are odors in your home, you may need to have your septic system cleaned. Below are some things to think about that will influence the cost of your septic system cleaning.

Pumping

Under normal conditions, you should pump your tank every 1-3 years based upon the number of people living in your home. Generally, this pumping will take around 4-5 hours of manual labor and about 2 hours or so with a backhoe. If you know the location of your septic system, this could save you some money on the backend because your professional won't have to charge you the time to locate it.

Size of tank

Obviously, smaller tanks cost less to clean, although you may need to do them more often. Larger tanks require more labor and possible machinery to dig up and pump the tank.

Replacing common parts

You may need parts replaced, such as a filter, which could cost a few hundred dollars. However, this filter is necessary in maintaining the function and longevity of your drainfield.

Soil fracturing

If your professional notices that your tank is failing, they can sometimes resurrected by properly pumping the tank, cleaning the drainfield lines, installing filters and a process known as fracturing the soil, which involves inserting a hollow tube into the ground and injecting a 300-pound blast of air. While this procedure could cost into the thousands dollars, it's much less expensive and much less hassle than installing a new system.

Keeping it clean

You know that your septic tank will work only if the bacteria in it are healthy and hungry. If they get sick or die, your septic tank will start sending un-digested waste out to the drain field which will quickly plug it up. Below are some "weird" things that could kill your septic tank:

Chemotherapy Drugs

Anti-Bacterial Hand Washing Soap

Toilet Bowl Cleaners

Bath and Body Oils

Dishwashers

Water Softeners

Time-Release Pills and Capsules

Tip

Once your septic tank is uncovered - take photos of it and diagram it in relation to your home. This information can save you money and could prove valuable if your tank needs additional service in the future.
