Your storm drains are not draining...

 

 

 

Storm drains have grids to prevent large objects from falling into the sewer system. However, the bars are fairly widely spaced so that the flow of water is not blocked. Consequently, many objects fall through.

 

 

It is important to monitor and clean catch basins to prevent street flooding, property damage, and hazards to the traveling public. Do this at least once a year.

How to know when your lift station is clean?

 

What to look for when lift station is clean.Your lift station should be free of grease and debris on the bottom. Your equipment,floats and rails should be pressure washed and cleaned.  If you are available you should inspect the bottom to make sure all of the debris is removed from the floor. Ask for a picture of the clean lift station if you are not available to look at it.  Remember once the waste is removed there will be a waste manifest generated that you are required to keep for your records. Once the vacuum truck operator leaves your site with that waste he must dump it the waste somewhere.  You should receive another copy of the manifest with a stamp from the disposal site it was dumped at. If you do not receive that second copy the waste may have been dumped illegally and you, the generator, are responsible for that waste cradle to grave.  

 

Drainsss

If your parking lot or underground garage is flooding don’t wait until more severe weather strikes possibly causing more extensive and costly damages. Catch basins should be serviced regularly to ensure sand and debris doesn’t enter the drainage system which can lead to costly repairs or needless line jetting. However, if your catch basins and sumps are not draining, we can inspect your parking lot drains and get your systems flowing safely.

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

posted near the grease trap/interceptor to encourage employees to follow procedures and to
promote proper documentation after each cleaning.

• Facilities experiencing high employee turnover or other factors making regular

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

• Keep cleaning documentation for a period of not less than five years.

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!
