Pump Outs Unlimited: Lift Station Repair and Maintainace

A large part of lift station repair and maintenance is based on population growth. Systems are designed to lift a maximum amount within a given time frame. The pumps are rated for the peak hours of use so they can handle all the sewage when every household, factory, or business is taxing the system. Lift station repair is often necessary when new subdivisions are added to an existing waste disposal line.

As the need grows for more volume, lift station repair may involve installation of larger capacity pumps or additional lift stations. When a new station is added, it requires other plumbing changes such as new sewage lines that divert some of the waste from the existing systems.

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.

Happy Grease Traps!

South Florida grease traps are devices that are built into your plumbing system that keep grease, fat, oil, wax or other debris from making it's way into the sewer system.  These types of substances can cause blockages in the system, which cause backups and overflows. This is why grease traps are required in commercial establishments such as restaurants.

 

 

South Florida grease traps are designed to separate grease from wastewater so that it can be removed before it enters the sewer system.  All restaurants, caterers, school cafeterias and other commercial cooking facilities must, by law, avoid discharging grease into the municipal sewer system.  In order to function properly grease traps must be pumped and cleaned on a regularly scheduled basis.

Operators of sewerage systems know that grease and FOG in lift stations is a major problem. The grease obstructs floats and reduces the life of pumps leading to SSO's and a need for frequent service. Obstruction by grease is the most prevalent cause of force main backups and sewage overflows, costing the industry billions of dollars annually. The majority of sewer line blockages are caused by grease build-up as opposed to debris. Call us at 305.620.7005 for a proposal for the pump out of your lift station!

Pumping out Grease traps

Grease Traps

 

Restaurant and foodservice kitchens produce a lot of waste grease which is present in the drain lines from the various sinks dishwashers and cooking equipment such as ovens and commercial woks. If not removed the grease will congeal within the sewer and cause blockages and back-ups.

Method

When the outflow from the kitchen sink enters the grease trap, the solid food particles sink to the bottom while the lighter grease and oil floats to the top. The relatively grease-free water is then fed into the normal septic system. The food solids at the bottom and floating oil and grease must be periodically removed in a similar manner as with septic tank pumping. A traditional grease trap is not a food disposal unit. Unfinished food must be scraped into the garbage or food recycling bin. Milkshakes, gravy, sauces and food solids must be scraped off the dishes before they enter the sink or dishwasher. To try to maintain some degree of efficiency there has been a trend to specify larger and larger traps. Unfortunately, providing a large tank for the effluent to stand also means that food waste scraps also have time to settle to the bottom of the tank, further reducing the available volume and adding to the clean out problem. Also, rotting food contained within an interceptor breaks down producing toxic waste. This attacks mild steel and concrete materials resulting in "rot out" on the other hand Polyethylene has acid resisting properties. A bigger interceptor is not a better interceptor, in most cases having multiple interceptors In series will separate grease much better. Because it will have been in the trap for some time, grease collected in this way will have been contaminated and is unsuitable for further use. This kind of grease is referred to as brown grease.
