When to Schedule Lift Station Pumping
For most residential properties, lift stations should be pumped every 6 to 12 months depending on usage and tank size. However, you may need service sooner if you notice:
- Gurgling drains or slow toilet flushing
- Persistent sewage odors around the tank
- The lift station alarm going off
- Standing water or soft soil near your septic components
- It’s been more than a year since your last pumping
Routine maintenance helps avoid costly system failures and emergency callouts.
What Happens if You Delay Pumping?
When wastewater builds up and your lift station isn’t pumped, pressure and solids can damage pumps and electrical systems. The result?
- Raw sewage backups in toilets, tubs, or sinks
- Pump burnout and expensive replacements
- Strong odors both indoors and outdoors
- Soil or water contamination around your property/
A small maintenance visit today can prevent thousands in repairs later.
How to Find Your Lift Station
Not sure where your lift station is located? Don’t worry, we can find it quickly.
Our technicians use property diagrams, probing equipment, and detection tools to locate and mark your system without unnecessary digging. Lift stations are usually installed at the lowest elevation of your property, often near the septic tank or drainage line.
Common Lift Station Issues We Fix
Even the best systems need attention over time. Here are common issues our team handles:
- Pump burnout or mechanical failure
- Clogged intake from grease or wipes
- Float switch or alarm malfunction
- Electrical shorts and corroded fittings
- Overflow or repeated alarm triggers
We offer 24/7 emergency service to handle urgent lift station problems anywhere in the Charlotte or Mt. Pleasant area.
Why Routine Maintenance Saves You Money
A well-maintained lift station runs more efficiently and lasts longer. Preventive pumping reduces the risk of burnout, avoids emergency repairs, and helps your system use less energy.
We recommend annual or semi-annual inspections, depending on your household or business size. Our technicians also share maintenance tips, such as avoiding grease, wipes, or other non-degradable items that can clog the system.
Remember: a little routine care today keeps your property clean, compliant, and worry-free.
