A properly maintained lift station is critical to the performance of any wastewater or sewage system. At Vacutek, we provide expert lift station cleaning services to ensure your system operates efficiently, safely, and in compliance with environmental regulations.
A lift station (also known as a pump station) is a vital component in municipal, commercial, and industrial wastewater management. Its main function is to pump wastewater or sewage from lower to higher elevations, especially where gravity flow is not possible.
Lift stations typically include:
Over time, these components can accumulate grease, solids, debris, and other materials that hinder performance. Thatβs where professional cleaning becomes essential.
Regular cleaning of your lift station helps:
Neglecting scheduled maintenance can result in major repair costs, environmental hazards, and unpleasant odors for surrounding properties.
At Vacutek, we follow a proven, safe, and effective process to clean and maintain your lift station:
1. System Inspection
We begin with a full inspection of your lift station system, identifying potential blockages, buildup, or mechanical issues.
2. Waste Removal
Using high-powered vacuum trucks, we remove sludge, grease, rags, and other solid materials from the wet well and associated components.
3. Pressure Washing
We clean internal walls, piping, and pumps using high-pressure water jets, which remove clogs and accumulated debris.
4. Pump and Component Check
After cleaning, we inspect pumps, float switches, valves, and alarms to ensure everything is functioning properly.
5. Waste Disposal
All collected waste is disposed of at licensed treatment facilities, in full compliance with EPA guidelines and local waste regulations.
