Frequently Asked Questions
How often should lift stations be cleaned? Lift stations typically require professional cleaning every 1-3 months depending on usage, waste characteristics, and system design. High-use municipal and industrial stations may require monthly cleaning, while smaller commercial stations might operate effectively with quarterly service.
What warning signs indicate immediate lift station cleaning is needed? Warning signs include: pump run times increasing without flow changes, frequent high-level alarms, visible grease or debris accumulation, unusual odors, or pump cycling abnormalities. Any of these symptoms warrant immediate professional attention.
Can proper lift station maintenance reduce operating costs? Absolutely. Regular professional cleaning typically reduces energy consumption by 15-30% by eliminating resistance and improving pump efficiency. Additionally, it extends equipment life by 2-3 times compared to reactive maintenance approaches.
Do you provide emergency lift station services? Yes, we maintain 24/7 emergency response capabilities throughout our service area. Our specialized teams are always ready to address lift station emergencies whenever they occur. For critical infrastructure clients, we offer priority response agreements to ensure your systems receive immediate attention when problems arise.
