When gravity stops, the pump station has to work.
We clean, inspect and service lift stations and pump chambers for homes, subdivisions and light commercial buildings, so wastewater keeps moving uphill.
- Equipment: Vacuum truck, pressure wash, test tools
- Typical visit: Two to four hours
- Checks: Pumps, floats, valves, panel, alarm
What it is, and why it matters.
A lift station collects wastewater in a basin, called a wet well, and pumps it uphill to a sewer or a treatment system. It has pumps, floats, a control panel and a lot of grease and solids to handle, and when one part fails the basin can overflow.
We pump and wash the wet well, inspect the pumps, floats, check valves and panel and test the alarm. For a Nashville-area subdivision, a church, a small commercial building or a rural property with a pump chamber, we recommend a service schedule and keep records. If a pump is failing, we explain the repair or replacement options before they become an emergency.

Lift and Pump Station Service: common questions
How often should a lift station be serviced?
Many are serviced quarterly or twice a year, and small residential systems yearly. Grease and heavy use shorten the interval.
What are signs of a failing pump station?
Alarms, pumps that run constantly or not at all, odors and slow drains upstream are common signs. Catching them early costs far less than an overflow.
How do I get a price for lift and pump station service?
