LIFT STATION PUMPING COMPANY

A lift station is a critical part of your septic or sewer system. If your property sits at a lower elevation, your wastewater needs a mechanical boost to reach your septic tank or municipal sewer line. That’s the job of the lift station: it collects wastewater in a wet well and pumps it uphill using electric pumps and floats.

When the pump station gets full—or worse, fails—you’ve got a serious problem on your hands. Flooding, backups, and odors can happen fast. That’s where HoneyBee Septic Tank Service comes in. We pump out residential lift stations safely, cleanly, and without delay.

WHEN SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR LIFT STATION PUMPED?

Your lift station should be pumped and cleaned regularly to prevent clogs, motor strain, and backups. Most homeowners should have their lift station pumped once every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and tank size.

Call us immediately if:

  • You notice foul smells near your tank or wet well
  • The alarm on your lift station has gone off
  • Your toilets or drains are slow or backing up
  • You see wet spots or puddling near your septic components
  • You haven’t had service in over a year

Don’t wait until it overflows. Routine service keeps your system running, your property clean, and your family safe.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A RESIDENTIAL LIFT STATION PUMPING?

During a standard service call, our licensed technicians will:

  • Locate and open your wet well or lift station tank
  • Safely pump out all wastewater and solids using vacuum equipment
  • Inspect the floats, alarm system, and pump condition
  • Remove any grease, wipes, or debris that could clog the system
  • Check electrical connections and ensure pumps cycle properly

We’ll let you know if we find signs of wear, corrosion, or anything that may need repair. If replacement parts are needed, we’ll help you source them quickly and affordably.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T PUMP YOUR LIFT STATION?

If your lift station fills up and isn’t emptied, wastewater has nowhere to go. It will rise until it backs up into your plumbing or spills into your yard. Neither is good.

Failing to pump your system can lead to:

  • Raw sewage backup in toilets, tubs, and sinks
  • System overload and expensive pump failure
  • Foul odors inside and outside the home
  • Contamination of surrounding soil or water
  • Costly emergency service calls and cleanup bills

A small routine pumping now can save you thousands later. Don’t take the risk.

HOW TO FIND YOUR LIFT STATION ON YOUR PROPERTY

Most lift stations are underground, and many homeowners aren’t sure where theirs is. That’s not a problem for us.

We can locate your lift station using:

  • Property records or blueprints
  • Knowledge of common system layouts
  • Metal detectors for buried tank lids
  • Manual probing techniques
  • Signal tracing (if needed) using flushable transmitters

If you’re unsure where your system is, just let us know. We’ll find it and service it—no guesswork required.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITH A LIFT STATION?

A lift station is mechanical, and like any machine, parts wear out over time. Electrical components, floats, check valves, and pumps can all fail if not maintained.

Some common issues we find:

  • Pump burnout due to clogging or overload
  • Float switch failure, which leads to no pumping action
  • Grease and wipe blockages that jam pump intakes
  • Alarm system malfunctions that leave failures undetected
  • Corroded fittings or wiring that lead to shorts or total breakdowns

We’ll keep you ahead of those problems with regular inspections and timely pump-outs.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IS KEY

Don’t wait for your alarm to go off. Lift stations work 24/7 and should be checked routinely—even if things seem fine.

Here’s what we recommend for every homeowner with a lift station:

  • Annual or semi-annual pump-outs to remove solids and prevent clogs
  • System checks during each service call to spot issues early
  • Avoiding flushing wipes, grease, or feminine products into your system
  • Calling us immediately if your alarm sounds or wastewater flow slows down

Maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repair.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR LIFT STATION NEEDS REPAIR VS. JUST PUMPING

Sometimes, pumping alone isn’t enough. We’ll always tell you if we see signs of bigger problems.

You might need repair if:

  • Your alarm keeps going off even after pumping
  • The tank fills too fast or empties too slowly
  • You smell sewage constantly, even with routine cleaning
  • The pump won’t turn on or gets stuck in a cycle
  • There’s standing wastewater above ground

We’ll never recommend repair unless it’s necessary—and we’ll give you clear options.

Our team is trained, equipped, and ready to service:

  • Single-family home lift stations
  • Duplexes and townhomes
  • Rural residential septic-lift systems

From pump-outs to full replacements, we’ve got you covered.
