Lift Stations

Quality Commercial & Residential Lift Station Services

Lift stations, also known as pump stations, are an essential component of many municipal or industrial wastewater collection systems. In fact, most wastewater collection systems are not sustainable without lift stations. Like a sewer ejector pump, these systems are designed to pump waste water to a higher elevation from lower-lying residential and commercial buildings where gravity-fed drains are not possible. The lift stations transport the wastewater upward at a rate that prevents back flow.

It is imperative that lift stations be installed properly and routinely tested and maintained. In the event of a lift station failure, by either a main break, power outage, or pump failure, wastewater will collect in the lift station wet well and back up into the pump's system or, in a worst-case scenario, cause a major backup, which can lead to costly lift station repairs or replacements. At TKO Plumbing, we have vast knowledge of these residential and commercial plumbing systems and we are the plumber to call for any and all of your lift station requirements.

Why Does A Lift Station Fail?

If an issue occurs, it can lead to entire stoppages, or even environmental pollution, causing your business unnecessary downtime.

• Pump failure: The submersible pump can clog due to grease, female products, or other debris being flushed down the lines. Lift stations are regularly used in commercial establishments, so this is always a high possibility.
• Electrical issue: If there is an issue with the power supply, the pump will not be able to function until the power is restored.
• Mechanical issue: Like any other sewage pump or appliance, a lift station contains many different mechanical components that can simply fail when not maintained properly.
• Debris accumulation: Items such as grease, rags, and other non-biodegradable materials can clog pumps and impede their operation. Regular cleaning and proper disposal practices can significantly reduce this risk.
• Lack of maintenance: Mechanical wear and tear of moving parts can eventually lead to pump failure. This is why routine maintenance, including lubrication and parts replacement, is so important.
• Environmental factors: Extreme temperatures, flooding, or exposure to corrosive substances can all take a toll on your equipment. Proper system design and regular inspections can help mitigate these risks and extend the life of your lift station pumps.
