Lift Station Pumping

Lift station pumping and service

When gravity cannot carry wastewater where it needs to go, a lift station pumps it there. We pump and service residential and commercial lift stations across Troy and Belleville, including the emergency calls that cannot wait.

What a lift station does

A lift station is a basin with pumps and float switches that lifts wastewater uphill to the tank, field, or sewer when the layout does not allow gravity flow. They are common on low-lying lots and commercial sites where the wastewater has to go up before it can go anywhere else.

Why they need service

The pumps, floats, and controls do real work and wear out over time. Grease and solids build up in the basin. A failed lift station backs up fast, which is why we keep emergency availability for the calls that cannot wait.

What is included

  • Pump out the basin
  • Check the pump or pumps and that they cycle
  • Check the float switches and the alarm
  • Straight talk on condition and what to watch

We handle residential and commercial lift stations, and we offer regular service schedules for properties that depend on them.

Lift station questions

What is a lift station?
A lift station is a basin with pumps and float switches that moves wastewater uphill when the property's layout will not let it flow by gravity. It is common on low-lying lots and at commercial sites.
Do you service both residential and commercial lift stations?
Yes. We pump and service lift stations at homes and businesses, and we can set up a regular schedule for properties that depend on them.
Do you handle emergency lift station calls?
We do our best to get to lift station emergencies same day, because a failed station backs up fast. Call (618) 667-1099 and tell us what is happening.
