Lift Station Repair and Maintenance
on the Treasure Coast
A lift station moves wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher one when gravity alone cannot do the job. When a lift station fails, wastewater backs up. Brent Pump Works provides lift station maintenance, repair, pump replacement, and emergency alarm response for residential and commercial properties across Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties.
Lift Station Repair & Maintenance
A lift station is a pumping system installed where wastewater (sewage) cannot flow to the sewer main or septic system by gravity. The station collects wastewater in a wet well and uses one or more pumps to move it uphill to the sewer line or treatment system. Lift stations are common in low-lying areas, in developments where the sewer main is at a higher elevation than the homes, and in commercial properties with large wastewater volumes.
Residential lift stations typically use grinder pumps that chop solids before pumping. Commercial and municipal lift stations use larger submersible pumps designed for higher flow rates. Both types need regular maintenance and prompt repair when something fails.
Lift Station Services
Maintenance
Regular maintenance prevents failures. We inspect the pumps, check floats and controls, test alarms, clean the wet well, and verify that the system is operating correctly. Maintenance programs are available for properties that depend on a lift station to handle their wastewater.
Repair
Pump failures, float switch malfunctions, control panel issues, alarm faults, and piping problems. We diagnose the issue and repair it. Most residential lift station repairs can be completed in a single service call.
Pump Replacement
When a grinder pump or submersible pump reaches the end of its life, we replace it with a properly sized unit. We match the new pump to the station's design capacity and the property's wastewater volume.
Alarm Response
When your lift station alarm goes off, it means the water level in the wet well is too high and the pump is not keeping up. This is an urgent situation. Call us immediately. Ignoring a lift station alarm risks a sewage backup into your property.
Emergency Lift Station Service
A failed lift station is a water emergency. Wastewater has nowhere to go, and the problem gets worse with every flush. We offer emergency service for lift station failures. Call 888-493-0984.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lift station?
A lift station is a pumping system that moves wastewater uphill when gravity cannot carry it to the sewer main or septic system. It collects wastewater in an underground wet well and uses pumps to move it to its destination.
How often does a lift station need service?
Most manufacturers and local codes recommend inspecting lift stations at least once or twice a year. Regular maintenance catches failing floats, worn pumps, and alarm issues before they cause a backup.
My lift station alarm is going off. What do I do?
Reduce water use immediately (no laundry, dishwasher, or unnecessary flushing) and call 888-493-0984. The alarm means the water level in the wet well is too high. This needs prompt attention to prevent a sewage backup.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for lift stations?
We offer maintenance programs for residential and commercial lift stations. Regular service keeps the system running and catches problems early. Call 888-493-0984 to discuss a maintenance schedule.
