Lift Station Pumping

Professional Lift Station Pumping

At Trimble Environmental Service Company in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, area, we know that lift stations are a crucial component of any onsite wastewater treatment system. Especially those that operate in areas such as office buildings, parking garages, elevator shafts and any structures that are below grade. These stations are responsible for pumping wastewater from a low level to a higher one, where it can be stored and ultimately pumped out. 


In the case of a lift station, sewage from the building is directed into a pit as part of a septic system. Once the pit reaches a certain level, a float switch is triggered, signaling that the tank is full and needs to be emptied through a pressurized line to its next destination, typically uphill in the system.

Despite being relatively straightforward, lift stations require proper maintenance to function efficiently. It is recommended that the wet well of a lift station be pumped out once a year. Regular pumping can help prevent damage or increased wear to the pump and keep the system in good working order. Additionally, having your lift station inspected annually will identify potential problems before they arise and address any maintenance issues, thus extending the system's life span.

Building owners can avoid costly repairs and keep their facilities running smoothly with lift station Cleaning performed by Trimble Environmental Service Company. Call 817-265-6511.
