Lift Station Management
Lift Stations
A lift station is present in facilities when gravity flow is not an optimal choice due to elevation or restrictions. Lift station systems can be utilized in both sanitary and stormwater applications. Lift stations are also commonly referred to as dock pumps, sump pumps, sewage ejectors, pump stations, or lift pumps. These systems require regular inspection and maintenance to sustain proper performance despite the unique stresses your system experiences.

What is a lift station?
Lift stations are a collection point for stormwater or wastewater that utilizes pump mechanics to move the flow upstream.
How often should my lift station be inspected?
Inspection frequency depends on frequency of use and local regulations. Jacksonville, FL has the strictest regulations, requiring monthly inspections. Regularly inspecting your lift station limits the likelihood of system failure and backups.
How do I prevent lift station clogs?
Installing a grinder or screen in your lift station will ensure large debris is collected or shredded. Most often clogs are due to flushed wipes, diapers and large plastics that are not flushable.
What are signs a lift station needs maintenance?
Unusual noises and vibrations are signs that your lift station may not be functioning correctly. Similarly, visible flooding or smells also indicate the lift station is failing.
How do I ensure long-term reliability of my lift station?
With regular maintenance and inspections lift station pumps are designed to last 7 to 10 years. Small repairs may be necessary to ensure floats and sensors are working properly, but responsibly managing these issues will prevent rehabilitations or failures.
