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 stations are large concrete holes in the ground (typically round) that all of your waste drains into. Once the waste lands in your lift station and collects, powerful grinder pumps (redundancy is important) pump your waste up to the main city line. The pump is triggered by floats that turn on the pump much the same way as the float in your toilet turns off  the water in your tank. Think of your lift station as a elevator for waste.

The central purpose of a lift station is to remove waste from your property by pumping waste from a site that is below grade up to a city sewer line.
